Description

What is a boat dock bumper?

Boat dock bumpers, also known as boat dock fenders or guards, are built to fit securely on the edges of boat docks and intended for protecting both the dock and the boat from scratches and damage. The one featured above is our Horizontal variant. Is has grommets punched through the top, and on seatbelt webbing tabs on the ends. We offer 3 main variations. Horizontal (for edges), vertical (for posts), and corner shaped (for egdes). All are built in the color black.

What are the size measurements?

The Horizontal Dock Bumper measures 46" long, and roughly 6" in diameter, with a 3" tab strip protruding out from the top with grommets. 6" diameter foam fills the interior, meeting U.S. Coast Guard's recommended standards for boats 20' - 25' in length. If the length of your boat is less than that, rest assured, it works just the same. Often, manufacturers sell bumpers that fall below those standards, which can be risky, especially as the product ages.

22oz vinyl thickness construction

Our Dock Bumpers are constructed out of 22oz fabric which features 700 more polyester yarns per square foot plus has a thicker heavier vinyl coating. This boosts abrasion resistance by 50% plus increases tear strength by 45%. This material has excellent UV resistance and has proven itself for decades in the transportation industry.

Grommets

Just like fabric all grommets are not created equal. We spend an extra $0.02 for rolled rim locking spur grommet plus an extra $0.01 for brass. As they are pressed the spurs of the washer fold into the rim of the grommet permanently fusing the two halves together. You will notice our grommets are perfectly positioned in the corners and at the seams where the fabric is 4 layers thick plus we always punch a grommet at both ends of each webbing row. Most shops use sheet grommets which install faster for less but will fail if installed in areas with a high layer count. Stainless grommets cost a little less but do not mold as perfectly when pressed which often creates sharp points that can cut your hand or scratch the load.

Where is it made?

Everything we sell is made in the USA. Cullman, Alabama to be exact. Our team is sweating but this is not a sweatshop. That’s hard work mixed with Alabama humidity on Real Americans who sacrifice the best 40 hours of their week to support their family and this great country. Your decision to Buy American provides us with the privilege of rewarding these workday warriors with competitive wages, health insurance, and paid time off. Our standards for materials, workmanship, quality control, and employee wellbeing will never allow us to be the low price leader but the overall value is responsible for a century of repeat business.

How many should I order?

Ideally, ordering 4 at a time is the most cost effective method in production, boxing, and shipping costs. Due to their unique shape from commonly shipped items, their cost is higher, thus upping our price per tarp less than the quantity of 4. We use UPS Ground shipping which has a minimum shipping charge of $9.99. For the same shipping cost you can get 1, 2, or 4, so on a sacrificial product like this, ordering 4 now will save you time and money later.
