10' Side Dock Bumper

Long-Run Dock Protection for High-Contact Edges 

Add reliable protection along the side of your RhinoDock with a 10' Side Dock Bumper. Designed to help cushion everyday boat contact, this bumper is a practical accessory for dock edges, slip approaches, boarding areas, and other high-use waterfront zones. 

Whether you’re protecting a residential dock, marina slip, shared waterfront, or commercial dock layout, side bumpers help reduce impact, scuffs, and wear where boats and watercraft are most likely to make contact.

The 10' Side Dock Bumper is a strong fit for dock layouts where boats or watercraft regularly approach, tie off, load, unload, or make contact with a long dock edge. 

Ideal applications include residential dock edges, marina slips, boat boarding areas, PWC zones, kayak and paddleboard areas, shared waterfronts, community docks, and commercial layouts with repeated boat traffic. 

Side dock bumpers work best when they are placed around how boats actually approach and use the dock. Before adding bumpers, consider boat size, slip width, docking angle, water movement, wind exposure, lift location, and where people board or unload.
