Understanding Microplus 501 Cover Options and Materials
The Microplus 501, with its distinct lines and various configurations, demands a cover tailored precisely to its form. We understand that whether you need a full canopy to enclose the cockpit and cabin area for extended protection or a robust tonneau cover for secure storage and transport, the fit must be exact. Our full canopies for the Microplus 501 start from £869 for our durable PVC marine fabric, offering excellent waterproofing and UV resistance, ideal for year-round outdoor storage. For those seeking a premium finish and enhanced breathability, our Acrylic fabric full canopies begin from £979.

We also cater to tonneau covers, which start from £389, and other canopy configurations that range from £429 up to £1,419 depending on the complexity and materials chosen. Choosing the right material depends on your specific needs, but both our PVC and Acrylic options are engineered to withstand the rigours of the UK's diverse marine environments, from the broad Norfolk Broads to the busy estuaries of the Thames and the rugged Scottish lochs.
Achieving the Perfect Fit for Your Microplus 501
One of the greatest challenges for Microplus 501 owners is finding a cover that truly fits like a second skin, especially for older models where original patterns may be hard to come by or the boat has unique modifications. This is where our unique postal copy service becomes invaluable. Instead of struggling with generic covers or attempting complex measurements yourself, simply send us your old Microplus 501 cover, regardless of its condition. Our skilled team at our Oxfordshire workshop will meticulously use it as a pattern to create an exact replica in your chosen new fabric. This ensures a flawless fit, mirroring every curve and contour of your boat, just as the original did. This hassle-free process guarantees precision and removes any guesswork, allowing you to have complete confidence in your new cover. Once we receive your old cover, our efficient manufacturing process ensures a rapid 6-day turnaround, meaning your bespoke Microplus 501 cover will be ready for despatch and on its way back to you promptly, minimising downtime for your beloved vessel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bespoke Microplus 501 cover typically cost from UK Boat Covers?
Our custom full canopies for the Microplus 501 start from £869 for durable PVC marine fabric or £979 for premium Acrylic fabric. Tonneau covers begin at £389, with other canopy types ranging up to £1,419. Importantly, as a family-run business, we do not charge VAT, which means a significant saving of 20% on all our prices for our customers.
What are the main differences between PVC marine fabric and Acrylic fabric for my Microplus 501 cover?
PVC marine fabric offers exceptional waterproofing and robustness, ideal for harsh conditions and is very cost-effective. Acrylic fabric, while also highly durable and water-resistant, provides superior breathability, preventing condensation, and boasts a more luxurious, canvas-like aesthetic. Both materials offer excellent UV protection, but Acrylic maintains its colour vibrance longer and is often preferred for a premium finish.
