'fraid not

January onwards we started to supply.

Changed the design slightly so there are no margins around the consoles anymore. It allows for a less 'hectic' deck to look at visually

The decks

I love the look of your teak decks ;)

Is it real teak?? or Tek-Dek, we supply Bembridge and have fitted quite a few this year.

Tube fitting

As you may know we import the RIBcat 620.

The tubes that are on her are not up to scratch (they're from SA) and we need some new tubes fitting.

Excellent

Are you happy with the cut to shape bit? The fitter was a bit unsure as he only had about 5mm of Tek-Dek left to cut - 200mm plank - only just fitted!

Height - 80mm
Length - 180mm
Depth - 2.5mm

Something fishy going on!

Heres our first attempt at laser engraving Tek-Dek with a Bananashark logo.

I think it looks great! It should do it took, all of about 4 weeks to produce. I hope Cookee is happy with it -...

Terms and Conditions of sale

What does 50% up front with remainder upon completion mean to you?

To me it means pay half now and half when the job is complete. Am I stupid?

PVC Adhesion

Stelmax PVC solvent adhesive - it sticks Tek-Dek together, which is made from PVC. We used to have loads of problems with glues but Stelmax is the answer. If you are looking for a sika type glue...

Fuel additives

Thanks for correcting me.

What about fuel additives?
