Rectangular fender made of foam + tarpaulin ?.
Hello,
anyone have any feedback on the making of foam fenders covered with "truck" tarpaulin and strap reinforcements.
This type of fender is becoming common and it is easy to recover the foam. Ideas for finding tarpaulin (not necessarily new?)
Difficulty of realization (time, past, equipment, machine type sailrite?), Resistance in time ?
I was wondering if a realization with little seam in the form of an envelope closed by a few eyelets would do ?
thanks

EVA foam should be convenient without any cover
Why using those fenders? Too expensive, need too much room for storage, scrapping not rolling on the hull and not very résistant in rought condition, maybe you and your thoughtful crew are sailing a pretty yacht in a exclusive marina?

Quand je vais (souvent) sur un forum UK pour échanger, je fais l'effort d'écrire dans la langue du forum, en m'aidant - si besoin - de google traduction. C'est la moindre des politesses.
Quand à ceux qui se la pètent à répondre en anglais sur un forum français, c'est limite pathétique...
Why don't you try making one and let us know the results? It would seem that tarpaulins, even heavy-duty ones, might not last long in boat/pier encounters, where chafe is a major issue. Truckers worry about keeping their cargo dry and the wind beating their covers to shreds if they're not well attached. Chafe is a minor issue for them; they simply cinch the covers tight so nothing moves. Hard to tie a boat down so it doesn't move. What kind of foam works for this kind of application? Does something that tough actually need a cover? Perhaps used tires would work better, and a cover would make them look presentable. Voilà!
Bonjour, pour les grincheux, un autre fil sur le sujet (en français),
vous pourrez alors donner votre avis sur la question posée dans dévier du sujet ;-))
Hello, I asked the same question a few months ago, nobody answered he already made one...

And another idea on this topic , use PVC from an old life raft

I suppose you already had a look on US/UK forums? Any feedback?
Probably little/no feedback from US forums. Making fenders out of foam covered with old truck tarps is NOT a thing over here.
Un extrait de la charte du forum :
"Certains contributeurs, en particulier étrangers, ont des difficultés à maitriser le français : ces difficultés sont acceptées sans restriction. Elles ne doivent faire hésiter personne à intervenir."
Il semble que alexsunny123 comprend très bien le français et qu'il a pris cette phrase au pied de la lettre...
