Narrowboat Upgrade | New Canopy Cover Transforms Boat

We are back with another video giving you a look into our lives living full time on a 59ft Narrowboat. When we first bought the boat there were so many upgrades we wanted to make but these things take time and money, high on the list was getting new canopy covers and the time is finally here!
After much research we chose to use Titan Boat Canopies based on their reputation & bespoke service. The whole experience exceeded all of our expectations so we wanted to link their website below as we HIGHLY recommend them: titanboatcanopies.co.uk

What an excellent product! And just in time for winter when you’ll need it the most! If you keep that area clear you could put a little table out there to give you a covered, outside area to sit for winter.

[@thefloatinghome17]

That’s a great idea! We will need to convince Lauren to get rid of quite a lot of stuff to make that possible!

[@Bjornontour]

Really nice and fitting colour that British Racing Green on your very good looking narrow boat(minus the front canopy)!! 👌🏼😃

[@MelG-ut3hs]

Love that colour racing green. It matches the rest of the boat perfectly.

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thank you!

[@annanadiajohnson6590]

Hello Adam & Lauren, I was so sure I had subsribed with you, I've been watching your vlogs for ages. Love all you do. Love all the way from Verona ( Italy ) Anna xx

[@beverlydavis9805]

The canopy cover looks wonderful. Mark was so funny, I loved his sense of humor, I can’t wait to see the front finished.

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thanks Beverly, Mark was a real character indeed - it's great to have fun with people when they come to the boat - we are excited to edit the front video also! it looks amazing :)

[@wattsonboard6931]

What a difference this makes - you will appreciate it now the weather is changing and it is getting colder. We notice the difference in keeping the boat warm when we have it up vs when it is not. We use that space on ours as a wet room for when we come onto the boat as well as for storage although we do like it when it becomes a seating area.

[@freeliving7819]

Yay so happy you guys are back.. makes me feel calm and happy watching you 3 :)

[@thefloatinghome17]

That is so sweet - thank you!

[@sianwarwick633]

Very nice new canopy. Love the zips. Lots of headroom. Wishing you guys the best

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thanks Sian!

[@sianwarwick633]

Hope you're doing okay in the weather 😢😊

[@glennclarke9787]

Hi Guys. Nice to have you back on the channel. The "Scratch" cover 👌 looks so good. xxxx❤😊

[@thefloatinghome17]

It’s great to be back ☺️

[@jewelrussell8288]

Yaaay! Finally back!!! Missed you! Will now settle down to a fun video

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thank you so much - it makes us so happy to know you enjoy our videos and we are going to try our best to be more consistent!

[@Guy0n]

The canopée looks great. I also love how a random woman walks out of your boat, offers Lauren an apple and wanders of again. 😂

[@thefloatinghome17]

Hahaha this made me laugh so much

[@lw7240]

It looks lovely guys even better once the front is done. X❤

[@lorrainenorman8594]

Looks amazing and Mark had a great sense of humour ❤

[@investigativeresearchcounc8388]

[@iheggis86]

Looks amazing 👌

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Lovely canopy. 😊

[@glennpuffett9376]

That’s amazing going too their website 👍👍👍 order mine

[@thefloatinghome17]

Amazing, enjoy the process - its a lot of fun :)

[@coolhand6669]

I like it it's a nice canopy it'll keep you guys dry

[@serenadm6619]

Looks lovely :)

[@lorrainenorman8594]

I think Lauren is missing canapés! 😂🥰

[@thefloatinghome17]

Agreed 😂

[@annemurkin8392]

So lovely to see you back guys.. ❤

[@thefloatinghome17]

It means so much that you enjoy watching us :)

[@ianwebb2235]

He did a fantastic job! The boat looks incredible.

[@valeriehopkins644]

Looks fantastic. Enjoyed watching the process. Here in Virginia we have a volunteer cherry tomato plant still going strong.

[@pcsb]

Nice canope 🤣Love the colour too. When you take the panels out don't fold them, roll them up! It is much better for them, especially if there are clear panels in them.

[@thefloatinghome17]

we will get the pronunciation right one day! thank you for the tip on that also :)

[@mirandaherridge2304]

We used Titan brilliant canopy’s 😂 xx looks so nice

[@thefloatinghome17]

haha we will get it right one day! that's cool you used them aswell, we are so happy with them!

[@athelstan927]

Great stuff

[@juliesutton4551]

❤❤❤❤

[@fransdriesen1311]

nice investment..

[@andrewlord2140]

I need a new canopy for my cruiser. Will have to get them up in the spring

[@thefloatinghome17]

We can highly recommend Titan Boat Canopies :)

[@user-xw6wj2qh5n]

It looks like the old dodgers would make a good log carrying bag, or a bag to store the new panels in.

[@sianwarwick633]

What is a dodger ?

[@user-xw6wj2qh5n]

The cover from railing to deck level that you had wrapped round the back of the boat.

[@user-xw6wj2qh5n]

On sailing boats it was about keeping waves out the cockpit when heeling over, so enabling people to dodge the waves.

[@peterclarke1962]

That pram cover looks first class. A very nice looking addition to your boat. How much was it please.

[@dannyburder6377]

Hi great video just started watching do you mind me asking what stretch of canal are you on? Looks like Harlow way? The reason I asked is I’m in Essex and looking for the closest Canal River from me?

[@carlito3859]

Looks great lovely boat can u do a full tour inside or have u already done that ?

[@thefloatinghome17]

We have a full boat tour video on our page ☺️

[@carlito3859]

@@thefloatinghome17 I’ll have a look now Thanks

[@samwright8599]

It's giving you 2 extra rooms a? It looks amazing. ❤❤❤

[@thefloatinghome17]

It literally is like 2 extra rooms!! the boat feels even longer now...

[@graememccoy6236]

Really enjoyed the video as always! The canopy looks superb, British craftsmanship at its finest! Best wishes from Sophie, Judith & Graeme.

[@waldfrauke]

Looks really good. When he does the front, will we get to see the new front room too?

[@thefloatinghome17]

You will indeed 😉

[@waldfrauke]

Looking forward to that. Thanks for answering 😊

[@rebeccafagan2927]

The big question, for those looking to make a similar upgrade, how much was yours ?

[@markball4117]

Hi guys, do you mind if i ask how much it cost for the pram canopy??

[@thefloatinghome17]

Hi Mark, it depends on so many things like if you are keeping your old frames, if it’s front and back, what material you choose etc so it’s best to give them a call or email - they are so helpful! 🙂

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@TobyCostaDunkin]

How much was it!

[@user-mg2il5if8l]

A Can of peas

[@kristiecolon542]

Why can't you eat apples?😊
