Step into a world of maritime heritage with our Large Manila Rope Fender, handcrafted in Sweden to safeguard your boat with timeless elegance – and shipped free worldwide. Every fender is a labor of love, knotted by hand using techniques passed down through generations. More than just protection, it’s a tribute to craftsmanship and sustainability, built for the modern sailor with a respect for the past.
This fender is made from 26 mm Manila rope, a natural material prized for its strength and classic charm. Sourced from a historic Swedish ropewalk, this rope is hand-twisted by artisans at a traditional rope factory, using methods unchanged for centuries. Reclaimed from the rope-making process itself, it takes 10–12 meters of this robust Manila to create a fender that’s 55 cm (21.7 inches) long and 12 cm (4.7 inches) in diameter – ideal for mid-to-large vessels needing reliable coverage.
Choosing our handmade fenders means choosing sustainability. By repurposing this reclaimed rope, we offer an eco-friendly alternative to plastic, blending environmental care with nautical beauty. Prefer a modern twist? We also craft with synthetic hemp and jute.

Care instructions
To maintain functionality, it should be allowed to dry thoroughly when getting wet. The most important thing is that the fenders hang above the water surface. This allows them to dry naturally. Proper care, including rinsing off salt and dirt with fresh water, letting the rope dry well, and optionally oiling it, reduces drying and rot—especially in manila. In this way, the fender’s natural beauty and durability are preserved.
