Full length canvas maker wanted

[starman]

Our steel-under-canvas boat lacks the canvas bit at the moment. It’s obviously a bit more specialised than the regular cratch cover - does anyone have any recommendations for someone who does this sort of work?

Fulbourne's last set of cloths were supplied by Tarpaulin Supply & Repair Co Ltd of Erdington. Contact is Steve Gardiner.

They were very willing to make up the cloths to a drawing we supplied.

 

Their premises are alongside the Birmingham & Fazeley at Spaghetti Junction, but with no access to the canalside so I don't think you can actually collect by boat.

Tops Tarpaulins at Sileby on the Soar have the capability to make large cloths.

I can recommend KC Covers.  They made the cloths for our under-cloth conversions on both our motor and butty.  They do all sorts of material.  We chose textured vinyl which, though not traditional, is a pretty good likeness.  I've forgotten what it's called but Karl will advise you.

eta: They will do all the measuring and templating for you.
