Rectangular fender made of foam + tarpaulin ?.

EVA foam should be convenient without any cover

Voir du coté des tapis de sport Decath et autre mousses cellules fermées polyéthylène...

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!

Probably little/no feedback from US forums. Making fenders out of foam covered with old truck tarps is NOT a thing over here.

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 ometv.onl[...] chatroulette.top[...] omegle.wtf[...] bazoocam.cam[...] seam in the form of an envelope closed by a few >eyelets would do ?

thanks
alexsunny

thanks my issue has been fixed.
