Abstract

A piling fender is formed of non-rigid materials and has an inner face shaped for engagement against the piling and an opposite outwardly extended crown. A bore is formed within the fender behind the crown to permit compression. Outwardly extended wing flaps have projecting corners and the outer surface of the fender is concave between the crown and the projecting corners. Fasteners are extended through the wing flaps between the crown and the projecting corners.
