What Materials Are Used in the Manufacturing of Bark PVC Inflatable Boats?

Today, Bark is one of the leading brands on the Ukrainian watercraft market. Its primary products include PVC inflatable boats and their accessories. Bark models are in high demand thanks to the exceptional quality of every component used in their construction.

The key structural feature of Bark boats is the side tubes, shaped like cylinders. Their length depends on the model—ranging from a minimum of 1.9 meters for single-seaters to a maximum of 5.5 meters. These tubes are crafted from imported PVC fabric sourced from Germany and South Korea.

To enhance safety, the sides are divided into multiple air chambers. This design ensures that, in case one section is damaged, the remaining chambers retain air—helping the boat stay afloat and allowing passengers to safely return to shore.

The floor is bonded to the sides using softer and more elastic materials. This makes it easy to roll up the deflated boat without damaging its structure. At the same time, the flooring remains durable and reliable. For improved passenger comfort and easier maneuvering, the floor is equipped with a protective deck.

The sides also feature mounts for additional components. Rowing boats come with oarlocks for attaching paddles. Combination or motorized models include a transom on the rear section to mount an outboard engine. All fasteners are carefully reinforced, ensuring extra components are securely attached and enhancing overall control and comfort.

Inside the air tubes are mounting points for seats, typically made from moisture-resistant plastic. The seats themselves — installed after inflation — are crafted from treated plywood to ensure high resistance to humidity.

Every Bark boat is assembled by hand, allowing for strict quality control at every stage. This attention to detail guarantees a product that’s reliable, safe, and built to last for many years of enjoyable water adventures.
