Applications of GRP Grating in the Marine Industry
At GRP Grating Systems, we design, fabricate, and install high-quality fibreglass grating solutions built for the demands of marinas and waterfront environments. Whether installed on pontoons, jetties, gangways, or fuel docks, our GRP grating offers a durable, slip-resistant, and corrosion-proof alternative to timber and metal, ideal for private and commercial marine settings.
Lightweight yet strong, our grating systems are trusted for walkways, maintenance zones, dry dock areas and emergency access points across marinas of all sizes. It has excellent resistance to saltwater, UV exposure, and algae build-up.

Why GRP Is Used in Marinas
- No rot, rust or splinters: unlike timber and steel, GRP holds up in constant contact with water
- Built for the coast: resistant to saltwater, UV exposure and algae build-up
- Slip-resistant: secure footing on wet pontoons, gangways and jetties
- Lightweight: panels are easy to handle and fit on floating structures
