Shetland Family 4 Boat Covers From £749
Shetland Family 4 catalogue cover price
The catalogue lists cover prices from £749 to £859 for the listed fabric options. Confirm the required cover and individual boat before ordering.
Read the boat-cover price guideChoosing a cover for the Shetland Family 4
First decide whether the job is to replace the Family 4 canopy you already use, repair one of its sections, or cover only the cockpit. These are different requests. Send a photo of your own boat: another Family 4's cover is not a pattern or proof that your boat has the same fittings.
Check the full Family 4 identification before sending photos: the catalogue separately lists Shetland 4+2. Point out the canopy supports and attachment points only if present, and note anything changed since the cover was made.
Cover options for the boat as fitted
Whether a cover follows an existing frame, secures to existing fasteners, or fits another existing arrangement depends on what is actually on this boat. Confirm its fittings before choosing; UK Boat Covers supplies the cover, not framework.
Preparing your Family 4 sample
Confirm the Family 4 name rather than choosing the separate 4+2 catalogue entry. Include a photograph of any model identification and the cover fully fastened on your own boat.
Show the front attachment, side openings and rear corners together. If only one section needs replacement, show its connecting zips while it is still attached to the panels you want to keep.
Tell us whether the old cover still reaches its fittings without force. Missing corners, stretched fabric or moved supports need discussing before a postal copy is agreed.
Request a Shetland Family 4 cover quoteWhat to include with a quote request
Take clear photos of the individual boat and its present fittings. The model name alone cannot confirm the pattern or fit.
- Confirm the exact Family 4 name and model year, if known.
- Send a full side view and clear views of both ends.
- Photograph the existing cockpit, any frame and each attachment point.
- Show worn window panels, zips or altered fittings close up.
- Say whether you need the canopy, a tonneau or a repair.
Can a cover be copied by post?
Mailing a recognisable existing Family 4 cover may provide a useful pattern for postal copying. The boat and its current supports and fastening positions still need checking: a loose, extensively damaged or changed cover may not show what the boat needs now. Ask before sending if the frame, attachment points or layout have changed.
Postal copying uses your existing cover as a pattern; it does not include supplying or installing support framework.
Quick Answers: Shetland Family 4 Covers
Is a Family 4 cover interchangeable with a Shetland 4+2?
That cannot be confirmed from the names alone. They are separate catalogue entries; give us the exact model identity and photos so the boat and its current fittings can be assessed.
Do I need a canopy frame as well as a new cover?
UK Boat Covers supplies covers, not their supporting framework or installation. Photograph any existing frame and ask about cover-only options if one is already fitted.
Can you quote from my old cover?
An existing cover may assist a postal-copy enquiry if it still shows its intended shape. Please describe its condition and send photos of how it currently attaches to the boat.
