To those people new to Narrow boating, when we talk about a cratch in terms of a modern Narrow boat , we mean a wooden frame supporting a vinyl or acrylic cover over the well deck on the front of the boat.
This produces a very useful extra dry space which can be used for many different things  - excellent for keeping a bag of coal / wellington boots / waterproofs / wet dogs or just a pleasant place to sit or do a bit of fishing from!!
 
All cratch frames and covers are measured and constructed individually as all boats are different.
 
This enables us to to build a cratch specifically for your boat without compromise.
 
We use best quality sapele as standard for the framework - although other timber types are available.
The covers are made from either a vinyl or acrylic waterproof material in a choice of colours. They have a zip either side and the sides can also be rolled up and secured to the framework in hot weather for extra ventilation.
 
We have been building cratches for Narrow boaters for many years .
We have  developed our range taking into consideration not only the overall look of the boat but the practicality of our products and value for money.
 
WE BELIEVE WE HAVE GOT IT RIGHT
