pete23 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 the windows in me boat are buggerd, there about 50yr old and out of a old bus,there made out of stainless and drop to bits when taken out to see to the rust behind them. im thinking of getting some new windows slightly bigger, then cutting the hole out a bit bigger to loose the rust. having built a few horseboxes over the years and using coldwell horsebox windows, they seem very well made and are very heavy, but a lot cheaper than there narrowboat windows. has anyone ever used horsebox windows in there boat??

Grace and Favour Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Caldwell's boat windows are a noticeably heavier grade than their horsebox windows, and are designed for the job. Trott along to Caldwell's and discuss your requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the horse ones may not be sufficiently stable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I hope that they keep the rein out. They could be a bit expensive. You don't want to saddle yourself with a job that is too much. This list of unbridled puns is too much. Someone with come a crupper. They may even get their wages docked. My store of puns is withering away. Perhaps I had better leave before I am muzzled.

Grace and Favour Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I see that many have had the brass neck to continue the rump of puns, yet have not nailed the problem for the OP I hope we haven't shoe'd him away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHutch Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Back to it lads! In all honesty im not overly familiar with horse box windows but if you would be happy with them and the price works out im sure no one will stop you. I like the idea of cutting windows larger (if you can) big windows are always nice, although you will obviously have to some some more extensive fitting of the interior, if you are not already. I have heard some are less secure, but im sure most are fine. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
