Customise your SVB Fender Board - reliable protection at every berth
A
fender board is more than just an accessory to standard fenders — it is often the essential solution when conventional fenders alone are not enough.
Crafted from weather-resistant marine plywood (BFU100), it provides reliable protection when
mooring against pilings,
sheet piling, or other uneven surfaces. By creating a stable, smooth contact area, it helps distribute pressure evenly and protects your hull from damage.
You can also personalize your
SVB fender board with
custom lettering for a distinctive and individual touch.
Protection exactly where normal fenders fail
In many ports, there are dock structures with
gaps, edges, or uneven surfaces - for example, at:
- Sheet piling with profiles and recesses
- Pilings, between which fenders can slip away
- Docks with edges, screws, or hard transitions
The problem: Normal fenders often
press into gaps, roll away, or do not sit correctly against the hull. This creates a dangerous spot where the
hull remains unprotected despite fenders. A fender board bridges these gaps: It creates a
smooth, stable protective surface and maintains the distance to problematic areas.
More surface area means fewer pressure points
A fender protects at specific points, a
fender board protects over a larger area and distributes pressure evenly. This is especially important when your boat is pushed against the berth by wind or swell. The board prevents:
- Pressure points on the hull
- Friction points caused by movement
- direct contact with hard edges or profiles
When
combined with conventional single fenders, the fender board significantly increases the level of
protection and adaptability for your hull..
