TRADITIONAL FENDERS

Are made in the traditional way using all new materials, the core being made up of thick coils of manila or polypropylene to give good durability. They are then half hitched or crowned (types of knotting) to cover the core. This covering can be done in your choice of rope, the most popular being grade 1 manila which is the best natural fibre rope and is the most environmentally friendly. The synthetic rope that we use is either black yarn constructed or staple spun polypropylene. We can however use other ropes such as synthetic hemp or cotton if required.
