If you have high quality, braided or 3-strand dock lines, you'll want to invest in these Custom Sunbrella Chafe Guards.

These quality chafe guards are available in any of the over 80 colors of Sunbrella Marine Canvas fabric.  In most of the most common colors, we are able to ship within 5-6 working days.  For other colors, we will advise but can usually ship within 7 days.

These are made as a sandwich with your Custom Colored Sunbrella on the outside and ShelterRite on the inside.

Shelter-Rite is a tough, waterproof, vinyl-coated polyester fabric with a matte finish on the outer side. This fabric is designed for high performance and flexibility; use for tough applications where high tear strength, high tensile strength, high adhesion, and exceptional weather resistance are main applications. With a high abrasion and tear resistance, Shelter-Rite is perfect as chafe protection - protecting and reinforcing worn or stressed areas. 

 These are custom made in one of two styles:  Velcro or Snap Closure.

In the Velcro style we use a 1" bias binding 3 of the 4 edges, Velcro along the full length and 2-3 mm ties (Black or Navy standard, White available as option) that allow you to tie to the eye and cinch the other end to prevent movement up and down the dock line.  If positioned away from the eye, you can use these 12" ties to pass into the 3-strand or braid and secure the chafe guard anywhere.

In the Snap Closure style, we bind all four edges of the Sunbrella/Shelter Rite "sandwich" and install heavy snap fasteners to hold together.

These premium chafe guards are made in our shop in an attractive and thoughtful manner with quality materials - Genuine Glen Raven Marine Grade Sunbrella.  We sew with heavy, UV-resistant polyester thread (V92) with black as standard and white available upon request.
