Boat Canopies Prices for Solihull Boat Owners

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

Cover Styles for Grand Union Canal Boats
Narrowboats and wide-beams on the Grand Union Canal near Solihull typically use a combination of tonneau covers, cratch covers, and stern covers — sometimes all three on a single boat. We can make any or all of these from the same order, using your existing canvases as templates throughout. Each cover is cut and sewn separately, so the fit on each section of the boat is independent of the others.
If you cruise the Stratford Canal as well as the Grand Union Canal, you may encounter different weather and exposure conditions. Our fabric options — marine PVC and acrylic canvas — both perform across the full range of inland waterway conditions, so Solihull customers don't need to choose a different cover for different stretches.

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 Solihull boats mooring year-round on the Grand Union 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 to Order Boat Canopies from Solihull
