How Puncture and Abrasion Resistant Are AERE Fenders?
Any fender, no matter what its made from, (even steel), can be punctured or abraded through. AERE Inflatable Fenders absorb a tremendous amount of punishment before failure; this is reflected in our guarantee. They will withstand very high compression loads that will collapse a normal vinyl fender, leaving you with very little between your boat and damage. Normal care should be taken in fender placement (if you see a sharpened spike or nail sticking out of the dock or piling, dont put any fender there if avoidable) and they will last a very long time.
