FAQ

What is DockGuard?

DockGuard is a premium dock-side fender made from high-density EVA foam. Itโ€™s designed to absorb impact and protect boats and jet skis from dock rash, scratches, and gelcoat damage when berthing at marinas, pontoons, or private docks.
How is DockGuard different from traditional fenders?

Traditional inflatable fenders can swing, roll, and move out of position. DockGuard is designed to be fixed or securely tied in place, creating a clean, stable protection barrier exactly where dock contact occurs.
How is DockGuard installed?

DockGuard features rope-through side channels and includes a ball clip and marine-grade rope. This allows for quick, secure installation on docks, pontoons, boats, or jet skis without twisting or slipping.
Can DockGuard be left installed permanently?

Yes. DockGuard is UV and saltwater resistant and designed for fixed or semi-permanent installation in marine environments.
