Handcrafted in Sweden – using traditional rope-making techniques
This fender is made from beautiful, hand-laid poly hemp rope, sourced from a local ropewalk that still uses time-honored methods and craftsmanship. When it comes to quality, it simply doesn’t get better than this.
Why choose poly hemp?
Poly hemp offers the best of both worlds: the natural look and feel of traditional rope, with the durability of modern synthetic materials. It is UV-resistant, doesn’t rot or mildew, and keeps its shape over time – all while preserving a timeless aesthetic perfect for classic boats.

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.
