Why have A Rope Fender?

Hardy Boat Fenders are designed to protect the hull of the boat from knocks and damage, which is caused when docking or mooring.

Construction

Hardy Boat Fender Ropes were originally designed using a natural coir rope, but over time, this rope would degrade and begin to rot. At RopeServices UK, we use synthetic polyhemp rope, as it looks and feels like a natural rope, but does not rot or degrade.

Other Types Of Ropes Available

Synthetic Polyhemp Rope
Synthetic Manila Rope
Synthetic Sisal Rope
Natural Manila Rope
Natural Coir Rope

Although we can offer a Natural Rope for your Hardy Rope Fender, RopeServices UK recommends that a synthetic rope is used as it will last longer and doesn’t need to be treated before getting wet. If you require a traditional looking synthetic rope, then our synthetic polyhemp rope is highly recommended.

Ends

Traditionally the end of Hardy Fender Ropes were wrapped in lather, however, over time the lather starts to degrade and begins to peel.

When we manufacture these ropes, we use a specially designed heat shrink adhesive tubing which protects both the rope and the wire.

Services We Offer

Here at RopeServices UK we can supply you with new rope for your Hardy Fender Rope. We offer a re-wiring service, just send us your old wire and we will cover it in some new rope.

REFRESHING IT IS TO SEE SOMETHING MADE TO A TOP STANDARD

 just wanted to let you know that the rope fender for my raging Hardy Family Pilot arrived safely today. I haven’t (and will not for a while) had an opportunity to fit it yet but it looks great and is just what I had hoped for. So very many thanks to all who made it and how refreshing it is to see something made to a top standard here in England.
