The postal copy service also eliminates transport costs since your old canopy travels to us, not your boat.

Made to Measure Boat Canopies for Preston Boat Owners
Whether you're moored on the Lancaster Canal or cruising through North West, UK Boat Covers provides professional made to measure boat canopies delivered anywhere in Lancashire.
Our postal copying service means Preston boat owners can get a custom-fit cover without leaving their mooring. Simply post your old cover to our workshop in Carterton, Oxfordshire, and we'll create an exact made to measure copy in new marine-grade fabric.
How to Order Boat Canopies from Preston
Our postal copy service means Preston boat owners don't need to visit our workshop in person. Here is how it works:
- Step 1 — Post your cover: Post your existing canopy fabric to our workshop in Carterton, Oxfordshire — frame work stays on the boat. We only need the canvas.
- Step 2 — We make your cover: We replicate the canopy exactly in new marine acrylic or PVC, replacing worn windows, broken zips (upgraded to heavy-duty YKK marine zippers), and damaged press studs.
- Step 3 — Receive your cover: Your new canopy is returned by tracked delivery within 6 working days, ready to fit back onto your existing frame with no modifications.
Marine Fabrics & Materials
Marine acrylic is the most popular choice for full canopies — breathable, UV-stable, and available in a wide range of colours. For maximum waterproofing, heavy-duty PVC (400 g/m²) is the better option. We use double-sewn seams and anti-wick thread on all canopies to prevent water ingress at stitch lines. Clear panels are cut from marine-grade flexible PVC that resists UV yellowing for years longer than standard clear vinyl.
For Preston boats mooring year-round on the Lancaster Canal, the choice between PVC and acrylic usually comes down to whether breathability (acrylic) or maximum waterproofing (PVC) is the priority — Ryan is happy to advise based on your specific mooring and how frequently you use the boat.

How Our Postal Service Works for Preston
Getting boat canopies made from Preston is straightforward. Box up your existing cover — worn, torn, or faded — and send it by standard parcel to our workshop in Carterton, Oxfordshire. Lancashire-based parcels typically arrive with us within two working days via standard courier services, and we begin work as soon as the cover arrives. We'll confirm receipt by email and give you an estimated dispatch date at that point.
Once your new boat canopy is complete — usually within six working days of receiving your old one — we dispatch it back to Preston by tracked courier. You'll receive a tracking link so you can monitor the return journey. We can also dispatch to a marina address on the Lancaster Canal if that's more practical than a home delivery. Most Preston customers have their finished cover in hand within eight to ten working days of posting.
