Google 'Tradline Fenders', download the brochure, and look at page 8. Have had these for years - not cheap but very well made.

Well these are probably what you are after http://www.pufferparts.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=198

 

But there's no way I would pay that sort of money. I'd get an offcut of 18mm marine ply and make my own. Paint them whatever colour you like and stick a bit of that waterproof foam on the inside.

Those hooks are made from 19mm "foamex" which is used in many products and is quite cheap. A local window company could be asked for offcuts.

I'm not a fan of side fenders at all, but would point out that hanging them from a handrail can create a trip hazard if walking along gunwales. At least the wooden hook makes removal easy!

I usually walk along the bank when ours are in use.
