The future of the fender is here in the UK exclusive to Arthur Beale
The first telescopic boat fender that doesn't squeak, leaves no streaks, is re-cycable and also space saving due to its telescopic nature
Originally invented to reduce the amount of space fenders take up on board - the pop fender offers so many other benefits too:
-
the use of more environmentally friendly material
-
Non-toxic and recyclable
-
Maintenance-free
-
Individual parts can be re-ordered if required
-
No squeaking on the boat
-
Less streaking
-
Use under water possible
-
Washable at 65° in the dishwasher
- Made in Germany & Austria
Before each delivery, each POP fender is oiled by hand with thier care product and is subject to a visual inspection
The Pop Fender is a fender with perfect functionality manufactured in Germany and Austria, from more environmentally friendly materials.
Small & Compact
The POP Fender is telescopic from 620mm to 250mm on both sides. The POP Fender is therefore smaller than ANY other fender.
No squeaking
The POP Fender material TPV does not contain plasticizers and therefore does not squeak. There is also less streaking.
Operation under water
The POP Fender is the first fender that can be used under water. It can float naturally because the material has a density of 0.92kg/dm³, making it lighter than water.
The use under water is only suitable for 2 to 3 days.
POP Fender is a telescoping boat fender for recreational boating. It doesn’t need to be inflated and works like a spring. The purpose of it is to protect against damage to the outer shell of a ship during port manoeuvres, as well as when mooring at the quay wall, at jetties or in a parcel (ship to ship).
What makes POP Fender so unique and special?
It is compact, non-toxic & recyclable and does not squeak. You can even choose your own color, streaks and discolorations are easy to remove. It is maintenance-free, easy to clean and its use under water for 2 to 3 days is also another advantage.
POP Fender has been tried and tested on inland waterways by a large number of amateur captains, who together can draw on over 300 years of experience.
POP Fender contains no toxic PVC and no plasticizers that are harmful to the environment. In order to maintain its technical and optical properties, we recommend regular surface care with the original POP Fender Premium care product, which helps to preserve the surface finish. The surface of the POP Fender is matt. Please note that the white POP Fenders require a lot of care – just like classic white fenders.
Tried and Tested by Practical Boat Owner
"During the recently windy weather, the POP Fender has done what it says on the tin and successfully fended nine tons of boat off the pontoon.
This is the first telescopic fender available in the UK via Arthur Beale, and is telescopic from 620mm to 250mm on both sides.
It can also be used underwater for up to three days, if needed."

Materials
What material is the POP Fender made of?
The basis for a high-quality product begins with the choice of materials. We had six materials from different manufacturers tested in the laboratory. Based on this knowledge, we decided to go with TPV SANTROPENE, which is also the most reputable. SANTROPENE’s TPV has been tried and tested in the automotive industry for over 40 years. Features and characteristics of TPV SANTROPENE are:
- Application for sealing lines
- UV aging, ozone and weathering resistance
- Chemical and oil resistance
- High resilience over a wide temperature range
- High bending fatigue strength
- High thermal and electrical insulation values
- Weight reduction through the redesign of components compared to thermoset rubber
- Colorability – metallic, photochromic/thermochromic effects
- Aesthetics – options for surface, feel and look
- Recyclable
Care Instructions
The POP Fender should be disassembled and cleaned annually
Coarse stains or dirt have to be removed by hand before placing the POP Fender in the dishwasher at up to 65°C. Use commercially available detergents or tabs.
You can also use very fine sandpaper (grain=220) to remove very coarse streaks, scratches and discolorations by sanding them lightly beforehand.
Air drying is recommended after cleaning in the dishwasher. POP Fender is not suitable for drying in a microwave oven, in a tumble dryer or similar.
