Key Features and Applications
Marine Protection:
Aluminium fenders are an essential accessory for boats and other marine vessels, providing protection against potential damage from collisions during docking or mooring. Installed along the gunnel, this fender minimizes the risk of abrasions or dents, maintaining your vessel’s structural integrity and appearance.

Beyond the marine industry, this fender is also highly suitable for industrial environments such as docking bays and factories. Its durability and clean design make it a versatile choice for safeguarding edges and surfaces in high-impact areas.
Non-Marking Black PVC Insert
One of the standout features of this aluminium fender is the black PVC insert that comes included. The insert is designed to:
Cover screws or rivets, ensuring a smooth and seamless appearance once the fender is installed.
Prevent marking, as PVC does not leach colour onto surfaces, making it ideal for pristine finishes on boats or industrial equipment.
Easy Installation Guide
Installing the Aluminium Fender with Black PVC Insert is straightforward and requires only basic tools. Here are the steps:
Position the Fender:
Start by aligning the fender approximately 1.8 metres from the bow of the vessel.
Ensure it lines up with the gunnel for even coverage.
Secure the Fender:
Drill holes and secure the fender to the surface using self-tapping screws or rivets.
Place fixings at intervals of 225-300mm for maximum stability.
Handle Tight Bends:
For areas with tight curves, insert wire into the internal grooves of the fender to prevent collapsing. This ensures a smooth fit and makes it easier to install the PVC insert.
Insert the PVC Cover:
Once the aluminium fender is secured, fit the black PVC insert into place, concealing the fixings and completing the sleek look.
