Covers for Unusual and Vintage Boats in Wigan
The Leeds-Liverpool Canal near Wigan are home to a number of older and individually built boats for which standard off-the-shelf covers simply don't exist. Our postal copy service is particularly well suited to these boats: we work from your existing cover as a cutting pattern, so the profile of a 1970s river cruiser or a one-off wooden launch is replicated just as accurately as a modern production boat.
We've made boat canopies for historic working narrowboats, vintage wide-beams, and one-off custom canal boats from across North West. As long as your existing cover is broadly intact — even if worn or patched — we can use it as a template. If the original cover is too damaged to use, we can also work from a paper tracing or a careful measurement sheet. Contact Ryan to discuss your specific boat before posting.
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 Wigan boats mooring year-round on the Leeds-Liverpool 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 Wigan
Our postal copy service means Wigan 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.
