Fender Socks

Fender Sock

Fender socks are protective covers designed to fit over fenders, helping to prevent scratches, scuffs, and damage to a boat’s hull. They are typically made from durable, stretchable fabric such as acrylic or polyester, which provides a soft surface while also being resistant to UV rays and saltwater exposure. These socks not only extend the life of the fenders by reducing wear and tear but also improve the aesthetic of a boat by covering up dirty or aging fenders.

Cylindrical fender socks are specifically tailored to fit standard cylindrical fenders, which are among the most commonly used fender types. These socks ensure a snug fit around the fender, reducing friction and preventing marks on the hull. They come in various sizes to accommodate different fender dimensions and are often available in multiple colors to match a vessel’s style.

Round cylindrical fender socks are designed for ball-style fenders, which are often used for extra protection in docking situations or as mooring buoys. These socks help maintain the fender’s condition while also providing a clean, polished look. They are particularly useful in preventing the accumulation of dirt and grime, making maintenance easier and prolonging the life of both the fender and the boat’s exterior.

Both cylindrical and round cylindrical fender socks play a crucial role in boat maintenance by minimizing damage from repeated contact between the fenders and the hull. They are a simple yet effective solution for keeping a boat looking its best while ensuring that fenders remain in top condition.
