Another use is as dock and post fenders. Used vertically on a post their longer length can help cover tide ranges. Used horizontally along docks makes docking in a slip safer and easier. As we all know, sometimes entering your slip doesn't go exactly as planned.  One customer, after the water level dropped permanently, attached several fenders to 2x6s, then hung them into position, spanning the dock posts.

For attachment to  wood docks or posts, in addition to tying, the fenders can be screwed or nailed through the webbing or loops as it is not part of the air chamber.  This makes for a more secure and permanent attachment.

Extra long fenders have even been used along gunwales of dinghies and row boats to provide added flotation and stability. Although the heavy duty models are recommended for docks and as fender boards, we can quote and make standard duty models down to as little as 2" diameter. See our sponson and tube page.

All extra long fenders are 5 feet long. They're constructed in the same heavy duty design as all Easystow  Fenders and since the outer wall is reinforced, they won't balloon. That is if you try to push in one area, another area can't over-expand beyond the original diameter like unreinforced material would in such a long length. So they support more load. They can be pumped up firmer then standard fenders and will support significantly more pressure.
