The Polyform A-Series heavy-duty fenders (also known as Polyform buoys) are the ultimate choice for safeguarding your boat during docking, rafting, and mooring in rough conditions. Each fender is molded from reinforced marine-grade PVC in a seamless, one-piece design that can absorb huge shocks without bursting or tearing. The rope-hold eye is integrally formed and strongly reinforced – it will not pull out even under extreme strain, ensuring reliable attachment to your boat at all times. These fenders are built to tolerate extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and abrasion, making them suitable for both tropical and cold climates.
With a broad range of sizes and buoyancies available, Polyform A-Series fenders can protect boats of virtually any size: from small RIBs and fishing boats to large motor yachts and commercial vessels. Smaller sizes like A-0 (diameter 23 cm) and A-1 (29.5 cm) are perfect for boats up to ~5–6 m, while mid-range sizes A-2 (39 cm) and A-3 (46 cm) suit vessels around 6–11 m. The larger A-4 (55 cm) covers boats roughly 11–15 m, and the jumbo A-5 (71 cm) and A-6 (85 cm) are ideal for yachts 15 m and above, or even as marker buoys and mooring aids for ships. (Note: Always use adequate quantity and size of fenders based on your boat’s weight and mooring conditions.)
Use Cases & Recommendations:
- Side Mooring Protection: Hang these round fenders over the side to absorb impacts when docking alongside piers, seawalls, or other boats. The heavy-duty design is especially useful in tidal areas or crowded marinas where boats may surge and collide.
- Rafting Multiple Boats: When tying up to another boat (rafting), Polyform A-Series buoys placed between hulls provide a large cushioning surface and won’t easily get squeezed out, keeping both vessels safe.
- Anchor/Mooring Buoy: Thanks to their high buoyancy and bright color options, larger A-Series units (A-4, A-5, A-6) double as excellent marker buoys or anchor lift buoys. They can support substantial weight (e.g. anchors or chains) without submerging, making retrieval easier.
- Heavy Vessel & Commercial Use: The reinforced construction is trusted for commercial fishing boats, tugboats, and offshore platforms. They endure heavy abuse – from rubbing on rough pilings to constant sunlight – and last for many seasons.
- Seasonal or Permanent Use: Whether you need temporary fenders for a trip or permanent buoys for a dock, Polyform A-Series are low-maintenance. They inflate easily (normal pressure ~0.2 bar) with a standard pump and stay airtight thanks to the reliable football valve. When not in use, they can be deflated for compact storage.
By choosing Polyform A-Series round fenders, you invest in proven Norwegian quality that outperforms generic fenders. Each unit provides peace of mind that your boat’s hull will be shielded from scrapes or serious damage, even in challenging mooring situations. For best results, select the right size(s) for your vessel and maintain proper inflation. With their robust build and versatility, these fenders are a smart long-term protection solution for any boat owner – from leisure craft to working boats.
