Common Concerns Answered
What do I need for installation on a concrete dock?
For installation on concrete docks, you will need to purchase appropriate concrete anchors separately. The included hardware consists of stainless steel wood screws suitable for wooden dock structures.
Why is the price slightly higher than vinyl fenders?
The premium price reflects the advanced EVA material, which offers superior durability, zero gel coat transfer, and UV resistance not typically found in basic vinyl fenders, providing a longer-lasting and more protective investment for your vessel.
Can I expect exact dimensions every time?
Due to the molding process inherent to closed-cell foam products, minor variations in dimensions may occur, but these slight differences do not compromise the product's protective function or fitment.
