Saul Junction Marina, Gloucestershire, UK

Project Overview

Nestled in the picturesque Cotswolds, Saul Junction Marina, surrounded by natural beauty, faced the challenge of replacing deteriorating timber walkways. Lakeland Leisure, committed to enhancing facilities, chose Dura Composites’ GRP marina grating for a swift upgrade.

Degraded timber jetties replaced with Dura’s GRP solution.

Located in the Cotswolds in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Saul Junction Marina is a serene haven for boaters and visitors. With 284 popular moorings, a tried and tested solution was needed for replacing some of the degraded timber walkways which were reaching the end of their life.

Designed and supplied by Dura Composites, installed by Shoredeck

Situated at the junction of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, the marina’s idyllic location meant that key consideration had to be given to the decking selection to make sure it could easily blend into the surroundings. Knowing the affection for the marina from the community at large, owners Lakeland Leisure – who work hard to maintain and upgrade the facilities – turned to Dura Composites to help out. Our stunning teak grating made from durable GRP proved just the ticket for a swift upgrade. Dura’s installation partners, Shoredeck Marine turned the project around in no time at all thanks to their extensive experience and the lightweight and easy handling nature of the products.

Less embodied carbon and more light transmittance for marine life.

Our rigorously anti-slip tested Mini Mesh, additionally offered 17.3% less embodied carbon than other grp grating, plus superb light transmittance qualities to protect the marine wildlife below, making it the perfect solution for this marina. With a long design life and non-corrosive attributes, our Mini Mesh grating has safeguarded the marina for generations to come and the marina has never looked better.

I always love working with Lakeland Leisure. It’s a wonderful relationship built out of mutual trust and understanding. As they continue to upgrade their marinas, we will be there to provide them with the futureproof solutions they need.
