Types of protection for your dock

Your first consideration is to take into account the size of the vessels docking and the height of the dock. Traditionally, if you are out on the open sea and have larger boats, Premium PVC products should be used because they have a unique air cushion design that traps air, ensuring maximum protection. For small boats, fishing boats and smaller cabin boats, standard PVC products are the most versatile and durable. Inexpensive PVC products are commonly installed on docks in low-traffic areas. The style of the bumper is determined by the height of the dock compared to that of the boat. On docks where the boat deck is above the top of the dock, a top mount profile should be used. Maximum protection can be obtained by installing profiles (without top edge) vertically every 2-3 feet apart.
