Tie Down Engineering Bunk Carpet & Slides: Purpose-Built Trailer Protection
When it comes to protecting your boat during loading, unloading, and transport, few details matter more than the condition of your trailer bunks. Tie Down Engineering has been engineering marine trailer components since 1969, and their line of bunk carpet and slides reflects decades of real-world refinement for boaters who demand reliability at the ramp and on the road.
All-Weather Bunk Carpet Built for Marine Conditions
Tie Down's bunk carpet is engineered specifically for the punishment that boat trailers endure. All-weather marine-grade construction means the material resists rot and mildew, holding up through repeated submersions, long days in the sun, and off-season storage alike. The carpet is flexible enough to conform snugly around bunk boards, yet durable enough to cushion a hull season after season.
Tie Down offers their bunk carpet in two practical formats. Standard rolls measure 11 in. wide by 12 ft. long — sized to wrap completely around 2x4 bunk boards or cover three sides of 2x6 boards. For larger-scale projects or multi-trailer fleets, bulk rolls measuring 11 in. wide by 150 ft. long provide cost-effective coverage without the need for multiple purchases. Both options are available in black or gray, making it easy to match or refresh the look of any trailer setup.
Bunk Slicks: Slide-On Simplicity with PVC Precision
Beyond carpet alone, Tie Down Engineering addresses friction at the bunk level with their PVC-molded Bunk Slicks. These slide accessories bolt directly onto carpeted bunk boards, creating a low-friction surface that lets your boat glide on and off the trailer with noticeably less effort — a meaningful advantage when you're working solo at a busy boat ramp. Bunk Slicks are compatible with any standard bunk board and are available in two sizes (1½" and 3" wide), with packs offering enough pieces to outfit a full trailer setup in one purchase.
For boaters who want a fully integrated solution, Tie Down also offers pre-assembled Carpeted Bunk Boards — pressure-treated lumber wrapped in black marine-grade carpet, available in 3 ft., 4 ft., and 5 ft. lengths and sold in pairs. These ready-to-install boards eliminate the DIY carpeting step entirely, making a bunk refresh straightforward for any skill level.
