Tie Down Eng Fenders & Mounting Hardware
When it comes to protecting your boat trailer from road debris and harsh marine environments, Tie Down Engineering has been delivering engineering excellence from their Atlanta, Georgia facility since 1969. The company's comprehensive line of fenders and mounting hardware represents decades of practical innovation in the marine trailering industry, combining American manufacturing with materials engineered specifically for the demanding conditions boat owners face.
Engineered Materials for Marine Environments
Tie Down's plastic fenders are constructed from high-quality materials designed to be corrosion-proof and impact-resistant, making them ideal replacements for traditional metal fenders that rust and deteriorate in saltwater conditions. The high-strength HDPE construction is lightweight yet impact-resistant, with UV-stable finishes that maintain color and resist fading over time. For those preferring traditional materials, the company's galvanized metal fenders are crafted from 16-gauge galvanized steel, offering exceptional strength and corrosion resistance even in harsh marine environments.
Modular Design and Complete Hardware Kits
What sets Tie Down Engineering apart in the fenders and mounting hardware category is their commitment to complete solutions. Each kit includes all the necessary mounting hardware, ensuring a hassle-free installation process and saving time and effort. The "SUV" tandem-style plastic fenders feature individually molded front and rear sections that seamlessly bolt together without modifications, offering a custom appearance without custom fabrication work.
The innovative "Bracket-less" plastic fender is specially engineered to mount directly to frames without fender brackets, and changing the fender position is hassle-free, providing flexibility for trailer modifications or repairs. For traditional mounting, the company's flush fender brackets are galvanized metal brackets available in both flush-mount and offset-mount styles, built to withstand harsh marine environments with exceptional durability.
Comprehensive Size Range
Tie Down Engineering offers fender solutions for virtually every trailer configuration. The galvanized metal fenders are available in various wheel sizes, including 8 inches, 12 inches, 13 inches, and 14-15 inches, while the UV-protected plastic fenders are constructed with high-quality polyethylene suitable for both normal and low-profile tires, accommodating 8" to 12" wheels. Made in USA quality features injection-molded construction produced and quality-tested in Atlanta, GA under strict standards, ensuring every fender meets the performance demands of marine trailering.
Built for the Long Haul
Reinforced, ribbed step surfaces add convenience for light foot use when properly mounted, while molded arches and integrated backing skirts help shield trailers and cargo from splash, dirt, and gravel. Whether you're trailering a small jet ski or a full-size boat, Tie Down Engineering's fender and mounting hardware systems deliver the protection, durability, and professional appearance that serious boaters demand from their equipment.
