Final Words

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

When purchasing the best boat fender clips, this is the next thing to look at. Always strive to find a product that has the features you're looking for. We advise you to focus on the most important or required elements of each product. Pros and Cons Before you start making removable boat fender holders, let's talk about the many tool options you can use, because narrowboaters don't have a lot of tool storage space. And, you might be surprised which tool I find best. Material: The pontoon bumper clips constructed from eximious ABS material are durable and will not scratch your boat rails. The surface of boat rail clips are smooth and don't worry about scratching your sofa on your pontoon boat. Get the most out of your boat fenders with our expert range of fender accessories.

Fender Baskets: 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 TemplatesThe multi tool needs a steady hand to get started, then kind of chisel out to cut a perfect line, then hand saw the remaining excess. Sanding The Edges 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. Alternatively, you could use a fence stain, preferably with "preservative" on the label, but avoid water based ones that don't say it. My Dad (a carpenter, duh!) said it's just coloured water.

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.

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. For any inward awkward angles, you can make several relief cuts to chop out the excess, but it will need rasping or sanding more than using a multi tool. 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. Alternatively, you could use a Vitrex profile gauge (below), or similar, which you can push against a protrusion and draw the shape onto cardboard and continue.
