How Are the AERE Fenders Constructed and From What Material?
AERE Inflatable Fenders are made from heavy, high denier, polyester fabric (used in dingy construction), and heavily PVC coated inside and outside. The product is hand glued with seam reinforcement inside and outside. The seams are from three to four layers thick to assure seam integrity. The attachment points are stainless steel D rings on both ends, securely fastened to a layered backing plate. The fill valves are Halkey Roberts valves or similar, to assure tight seals and rapid inflation and deflation.
