Polyform US Boat Fenders

Fender Shapes and Types

Polyform US Boat Fenders offers a wide variety of fenders to protect boats. You have your choice of diameter, length, color and shape. Available shapes include cylindrical, round, rectangular flat and uniquely shaped specialty fenders.

Cylindrical Fenders

Cylindrical fenders can be divided into two types: Two-eye cylindrical and center rope tube fenders.

Two-eye cylindrical fenders have an eye at each end which gives you the option of using a single fender whip to hang the fender vertically or two whips to hang the fender horizontally. Boaters most often hang these fenders vertically. Examples of two-eye cylindrical fenders include Polyform’s F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6 series of fenders.

Center rope tube fenders can be hung either vertically or horizontally using one line running through the centerline. A figure eight knot at one end of the fender enables vertical hanging. Alternatively, a figure eight knot at each end of the fender keeps these fenders from sliding along the line when hung horizontally.

Round Fenders

Popular with commercial fishermen, round fenders provide lots of cushioning at a specific location. Examples of round fenders include Polyform’s line of colorful All Purpose Buoys. Either can be used as fenders or buoys.

Rectangular Flat Fenders

Rectangular flat fenders can be used to protect a large area and are a great choice for use when rafting up to another boat. Examples of rectangular flat fenders Hull Hugr Flat Fenders, which are made of a tri-laminate material with a polycarbonate grommet at each end. Along with being hung as fenders, these can be mounted to docks and posts too.
