fender cover - Only 100% Polyester Fabric
Our fender covers are made from 100% polyester knitted
yarn we do not have any other yarn blended with the polyester
the yarn is the same as used in braded rope like your black
mooring lines or your sheet ropes.
Other fender cover makers use Acrylic fabric blended with
nylon to give greater stretch so one size will fit many size
fenders, a good example is the photo on the Bottom right this
cover is from Europe made from Acrylic fabric they also use
a rubber band in the top of the cover ( just like the postman
uses when delivering your mail ) not suited for the marine
environment, We use polyester draw cord at either end of our
covers enabling the covers to be reversed if needed and only
100% polyester yarn to knit our fabric.
History
Our background comes from the Surfing industry the
owners manufactured and design surfing equipment inc: leg
ropes, skate boards, board racks, accessories and surf clothing
lines, they design and produced the first commercial surfboard
cove in Australia in 1973, being keen seaman and seeing the
need for a good quality fender cover that stands up to the
marine environment and having many years experience in manufacturing
surf products started researching and found the best fabrics
to use for making fender covers is 100% polyester yarn, after
one year of research and testing the fabric in the harsh northern
Australian environment started production.
Future Goals
Only one, To product the best fender cover possible
that will stand up to the harsh UV rays and give years of
protection in the marine environment.
