Three sizes design: Affordura pontoon rail fender hanger are fit on 1 inch, 1.25 inch, 1.5 inch Pontoon square rails perfectly. 0.25 inch pad matches for 1.25 inch square rail. 0.5 inch pad matches for 1 inch square rail. The boat fender clips without pad are suit for 1.5 inch square rail. In best boat fender clips, prior understanding of the product is always important. Other performance-related factors may be included in these findings. For this reason, we recommend that you evaluate the product's price to its value before making a decision. Note that the first question mark style hook template was created by drawing around my neighbour's existing one. I simply drew around it directly onto cardboard and sawed it with a steak knife(!) Just use what you have!

Before I get down my boat fender hanger project, let's just discuss our news. YES! We're now the new owners of a 57ft narrowboat! We aren't liveaboard narrowboat folk just yet. However, we are future-proofing it for when the time comes to live on it as much as possible. That's the plan, anyway. What Are Boat Fenders For? For a more professional finish, then I would recommend a band saw or scroll saw as I know it's easier to cut small projects. However, for the power usage and storage needed, I think this would be more suited for businesses making fender boat hooks to sell. But, understandably, not many boaters will have this at hand!

How to Choose the Best Boat Fender Clips?

I also noticed the side rail of our neighbour's narrowboat is tapered differently, so you can see they fit differently above. So I decided to make a bespoke boat fender holder for a better fit and personalise it to compliment our barge. Free Boat Fender Templates Material: The pontoon clips for bumper constructed from eximious ABS material are durable and will not scratch your boat rails. The surface of boat fender hangers are smooth and don't worry about scratching your sofa on your pontoon boat. If you need boat rail clamp rod holders, personally, I'd try designing something like an S hook by drilling in wood with a holesaw slighly bigger than the diameter. How to Make Your Own Template Without a Printer For a natural look, you can use a clear preserve (my favourite) or Danish oil as demonstrated here. But any filler you use would be best in the same colour as the wood, otherwise, I recommend painting it or staining in a dark colour overall. You can definitely use a jigsaw, but it's not ideal because it can jump about during small projects and the base plate gets in the way of the clamps. This means constantly having to move clamps, which takes thought and time. It also has a tendency to chip exterior plywood, meaning the need for filler. If this is your preferred method, I recommend alternating with a hand saw for straight edges. You'll also need to drill some holes to let the blade in. Coping Saw With a Hand Saw (favourite)

Applicable: Suitable for lines below 3/8 inches in size, and the height of the fender can be easily adjusted. A knot at the end of the rope after passing through the hole can prevent the fender line from slipping accidentally. While cutting with any tool, I wouldn't do this without go od clamps and some form or surface. I tend to use my sawhorses, but a fold-away workmate would be useful. I'd even be tempted to be resourceful and screw a section that later needs to be cut away, to a tree stump to secure while working. Cutting Easy Boat Fender Hangers For the internal corners, a rotary multi tool is perfect for this as hand sanding can be a struggle and time consuming! Filling Any ChipsBefore even painting and making them stainless fender holders, I drilled a hole using a 16mm flat wood drill bit. You could also use an auger drill bit for this. Note, I have tried all of these, apart from a band saw or scroll saw as it's not in my workshop. Band saw / Scroll Saw To prevent fitting problems later, I left a 5mm allowance on either side of the notch to allow for paint and future heat expansion when the weather changes. What Wood Can I Use?
