General Questions

What is marine carpet❓

Marine carpet is an outdoor carpet specifically designed for use on boats, pontoons, jetties, pool surrounds, patios, and other wet or high-traffic areas.

It is typically UV-stabilised, water-resistant, mould- and mildew-resistant, anti-static, and needle-punched to withstand harsh conditions.

Why should I choose marine carpet over regular outdoor carpet❓

Marine carpet is engineered for wet and high-traffic environments, which makes it:

Resistant to fraying, snags, and peeling
Longer lasting in direct sunlight and moisture
Easy to clean and maintain

Regular outdoor carpet won’t perform as well in boats or heavily wet areas.

What sizes and widths are available❓

Standard width: 2.0 metres
Selected lengths available online
Custom roll lengths up to 25–30 metres (freight quote required)

Durability & Longevity Questions

How long does marine carpet last❓
