Boat fenders

Properly sized boat fenders act as the ultimate defense for your hull against docks, pilings, and neighboring vessels. The required size of the fenders for a boat depends entirely on the weight of the vessel, the height of the freeboards, and the wind exposure at your mooring. Here at Rope Store, we carry boat fenders suited for everything from small recreational crafts to heavier commercial ships.

Different situations call for specific shapes to provide the right level of safety. For example, a round fender provides a wider and safer margin of distance when passing through locks or when mooring vessels with flared bows. The bumper itself is only part of the equation. When selecting fenders, boat owners must also consider finding a matching fender line. This specific combination makes a massive difference in preventing costly hull repairs.
