Do you supply furniture to boat manufacturers?
Yes we do. We have been a furniture supplier for several boat
manufacturers since 1962.
We use the same materials and craftsmanship for boat owners as
we do for our boat manufacturers. Our quality and durability record
is unmatched.
What information do you need from
me to make my order accurate?
Not only do we supply quality, long lasting furniture; we also
strive to provide excellent customer service. This does, however,
require precise information from you so that your order is completed
exactly as you intended.
If…you
want to place a bench along the back rail of your pontoon…We
require the inside rail (one side) to inside rail (opposite
side) dimension. This ensures precise furniture fit.
If…you
have a curved railing (usually all four corners of your pontoon)…There
is a simple way of obtaining this information. First, get a
piece of paper or cardboard large enough to encompass the entire
corner. Place it on top of the railing. Take a pencil or marker
and draw along the inside of the railing on the bottom side
of the paper or cardboard. Send via mail or fax the drawing,
and we can take it from there. This also ensures precise furniture
fit.
If…you
have doors located along the side rails…We require the
exact locations so that the furniture will not block a door
opening. Once we have the characteristics of your pontoon layout,
we can start on the furniture requirements…
Do you refurbish, or sell replacement
furniture? Return
to Top
We do both, but replacement is more cost effective than refurbishing.
Replacement furniture is made with our foam contours and vinyl
patterns, along with our own furniture bases. Refurbish means
we must match your base, foam & vinyl patterns. The furniture
must be disassembled down to the base. The base may have to be
replaced or rebuilt. The vinyl must be disassembled seam by seam
to be copied, along with possibly rebuilding or copying foam patterns.
Do you supply furniture for pontoons
only? Return
to Top
We supply furniture for Runabouts,
Cuddies, Yachts, Sailboats, Cruisers, Paddleboats, Canoes
and Fishing Boats. If it floats, we can help!
Standard & deluxe furniture, what's
the difference? Return
to Top
The only difference is the foam in the seat. Standard furniture
has a 3" flat foam across the entire seat board. Our Deluxe
furniture has the same 3" flat foam (toward the back of the
seat), but we also include a round contoured foam along the whole
front side of the seat board.
Are the structural bases of your pontoon
benches made of plastic?
Yes they are. They are a fully encased, six-sided, roto-molded
¼" thick wall durable polyethylene.
The furniture (benches) listed on your
web site are not the same length
as the ones required for my pontoon? Return
to Top
Not to worry…We can match the length of every item you replace
to your specification. We can build U-configurations, L-configurations,
double-arm, single-arm (left or right), and straight benches of
any length and any configuration. Please note that there is a $20
charge per bench for customizing.
Does the price change if I use two
or three colors, rather than just one?
For pontoon benches, fish seats, and pilot chairs, it does not.
We allow up to three colors before there is a price change. Consoles,
sundecks, cushions, side panels, or bow cushions are charged based
on labor and materials.
Do you supply the furniture only? Return
to Top
We consider Geldert's to be a one-stop-shop. If you are a do-it-yourselfer
and would like wood, plastic, foam, or vinyl, we would be happy
to supply you with it. If you would like to order furniture only
and do your own installation, we would be happy to supply you
with that also. Or, if you would like us to take your project
and rebuild it from the ground up - replacing stringers, engine
mounts, transoms, floors, decking for pontoons, sundecks, electronics,
side panels or storage bins, live wells, swim platforms, console
pads, engine/motor covers, bow panels/cushions - we can do it,
or you can do it! It's all up to you.
Do you have a color chart on your
web site? Return
to Top
No, we do not. The web allows 256 colors, but it does not accurately
depict the colors that we carry. We have swatches all ready to
go with the name of the color on the back of each one. We can
send you swatches via mail per your selections. We have over 100
colors, and many shades of each color category.
What is the difference between your
furniture and your competitors'?
We can only speak for what we supply. However, we feel that our
ability to build to your specifications sets us apart from the
beginning. Materials used are of the highest quality, and we build
to last. We use quality, durable vinyl, HR-rated non-memory foam,
stainless steel fasteners, and aluminum hinges. Our craftsmanship
and attention to detail are considered to be of the utmost importance,
and we feel it shows.
