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. Call 07939 608899 or use the contact form.
Marine Fabrics & Materials
Narrowboat covers need to withstand constant wind, rain, and UV exposure on the canal. We use 400 g/m² marine PVC for maximum waterproofing, or Sunbrella acrylic for superior breathability — ideal for narrowboats that are lived on year-round. All seams are double-sewn with anti-wick thread, and all zips are heavy-duty YKK marine grade. Fixings are stainless steel press studs or bungee cord loops to suit your existing fittings.
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.
