Fender covers are designed to protect the hull of the boat while it is docked. Often forgotten, fender covers save your boat from scratching and extend fenders lives that are constantly exposed to a high volumes of UV and friction. They work equally well on motorboats and yachts.
In the last 15 years Fendress have grown from a fender cover manufacturer to a specialist of all-things-fenders. They’ve expanded their offer to high-end products, including inflatable fenders, fender hooks, and carbon fibre products as well as providing custom embroidery. We’ve recently added a range of Fendress fender covers to Upffront.com! In this article we give an overview of fender covers that you may have been thinking of buying.
Fendress Acrylic Fender Covers
Acrylic fender covers will be the most popular option on the market and suitable for all major fender brands and manufactured in various sizes. Fendress offer their fender covers in a single or double layer acrylic. The double layer acrylic offers maximum protection and durability
All fender covers are hand-crafted in France from 100% acrylic material. These acrylic covers have a UV-filter to prevent fenders from going hard. Most PVC and vinyl fenders tend to harden over time and leave marks on the hull.
Fendress acrylic fender covers come in 16 bright colours with Navy, Black, Beige, Grey and Anthracite being the most popular colours always high in stock availability. Another advantage of acrylic fender covers from Fendress is that they are easy to put on and remove from the fender. You can also machine wash them on a delicate cycle.
