Services
Marine Canvas & Upholstery
Marine covers and enclosures, equipment and machinery covers, bags, seats and upholstery — made new or repaired, from your measurements, template or drawing.
The service
If it can be cut and sewn, it comes through this shop.
Boats are most of it — covers, dodgers, biminis and full enclosures, measured on the vessel and sewn to it. But the same bench turns out covers for machines that live outdoors, cabs for side-by-sides and tracked carriers, bags, and seats rebuilt from the foam out.
New work and repairs come off the same table. Bring a measurement, a template or a drawing; or we come to the boat, the machine or your yard and take the pattern ourselves. Materials and colours are chosen with you — there is no standard range here, only what the job needs.
Capabilities
What we do
Marine canvas, equipment and machinery covers, bags, seat and upholstery work in Atlantic Canada — new fabrication and repairs, measured on the boat, the machine or at your own yard.
Marine covers and enclosures
Covers, dodgers, biminis and full camper enclosures — the most common work through the door, and the reason most people call.
Equipment and machinery covers
Covers for the machines that sit outside — tractors and attachments, buckets, deck equipment, gear left on a pallet.
Cabs and canopies
Enclosures for side-by-sides, tracked carriers and utility vehicles, with clear panels and zips where they earn their place.
Bags
Heavy-duty bags built to a size and a use, in the material the job wants.
Seat repair and upholstery
Seats, cushions and interiors rebuilt — the padding underneath as well as the covering over it.
Custom covers, one-offs
If it has a shape, it can have a cover. Odd sizes and one-of-a-kind jobs are ordinary here.
New work and repairs
The same bench builds new and puts old work back into service.
Measured where it lives
From your measurements, template or drawing — or we come to the boat, the vehicle or your yard and take it ourselves.
The bench
What comes off this table.
Marine work is the bulk of it, but the bench does not know the difference between a wheelhouse and a tractor. What changes is the pattern and the material.
| Work | Typical items | New or repair | Measured from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marine covers | Cockpit and full covers, sail covers, tonneaus | Both | Templated on the vessel |
| Enclosures | Dodgers, biminis, camper backs, wheelhouse enclosures | Both | Templated on the vessel |
| Equipment covers | Tractors and attachments, buckets, deck gear, pallet loads | Both | On the machine, or your measurements |
| Cabs and canopies | Side-by-sides, tracked carriers, utility vehicles | Both | On the vehicle |
| Bags | Heavy-duty bags to a size and a use | Both | Your measurements or a sample |
| Upholstery | Seats, cushions, backs and interiors — padding and covering | Both | The seat itself |
| One-offs | Odd shapes, single items, whatever has not been made before | Both | A template or a drawing |
Scroll the table sideways for all 4 columns.
Materials and colours are chosen job by job rather than from a fixed range. Tell us where it lives and what it has to survive, and we will tell you what to make it from.
The canvas shop
Marine is most of it. Not all of it.
Every photograph below is our own bench and our own work. The order they are in is roughly the order the shop sees them — boats first, because boats are most of it, and then everything else that needs a cover.
Covers, fitted to the hull
Cut to the boat rather than to a size chart, with the hardware and the rails the cover has to clear worked into the pattern.
Cut around what is already there
A fitted cover patterned around the boat's existing tower and hardware, then snapped into place along the edge.
Enclosures that stay up all season
Flybridge and aft enclosures made from canvas and clear panels, with zipped sections that can be opened or removed as needed. Patterned and fitted directly to the boat.
Cabs for machines that work outside
Custom enclosures for side-by-sides and tracked equipment, with doors, windows and clear panels patterned to the machine's existing frame.
Covers for the equipment itself
Custom covers for tractors, attachments, buckets and deck gear — patterned to the equipment and made to protect it in storage or in use outdoors.
Off the water entirely
Clear-panel weather curtains fitted along the deck, designed to roll up when open and drop down when weather protection is needed. The same custom measuring, patterning and sewing we use for marine work, applied off the water.
Even the furniture
A canvas seat and back made to fit an existing swing frame. One-off jobs like this are part of the work too — bring the frame or the measurements.
Bags, to a size and a use
Heavy PVC, welded corners, webbing handles stitched through. Built to carry what you actually carry rather than what a catalogue thinks you do.
Seats, stripped
This is what comes in. The covering has gone and the foam underneath has gone with it — which is why upholstery here is rebuilt rather than re-skinned.
Seats, rebuilt
The same two, off the bench. Padding replaced, new material cut on the table behind them and pulled over — the inside redone as well as the outside.
Marine seats too
Helm and companion seats in panelled marine upholstery. This one came in with the seat cushion worn through — the lower covering replaced and panelled to match the back it sits under.
The padding underneath
Old foam cut open and new stock let in before anything is covered. Where the padding has gone soft or broken up it is replaced — re-covering tired foam only puts the problem back on the boat.
What you get back
Something that fits the thing it was made for.
Canvas that nearly fits is canvas that chafes, holds water and comes apart at the corner. What leaves here was patterned on the object itself, or on the measurements you gave us, and fitted before it was handed over.
- 01
Made to the object
Templated on the boat, the machine or the seat — or built to the measurements you send us.
- 02
Fitted before it leaves
Tried on and adjusted, on site where the job needs it.
- 03
Repairable later
The shop that made it is the shop that patches it when the season is hard on it.
Process
How we work
One conversation starts it — we scope the job, do the work, and stand behind it through the season.
- 01
Tell us what it goes on
A boat, a machine, a seat or something that has never had a cover before.
- 02
Measure or template
We take the pattern on the object, or work from what you send us.
- 03
Choose the material
Material and colour picked for where it lives and what it has to survive, not from a fixed range.
- 04
Cut and sew
Cut and stitched on our own bench.
- 05
Fit it
Fitted and adjusted — on the boat, the vehicle or at your yard.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. Marine work is the most common thing through the door, but the same bench makes covers for tractors, attachments, buckets and deck gear, cabs for side-by-sides and tracked carriers, bags, and seat and upholstery work. If it can be cut and sewn, ask.
Both, off the same table. A tear in a two-year-old enclosure and a cover that has never existed are the same kind of job here.
Both, depending on what has failed. Where the padding underneath has broken down it is replaced along with the covering — re-skinning worn-out foam only puts the problem back on the boat.
Yes. Measurements, a template or a drawing all work. Send what you have, along with what the item goes on, and we will tell you whether we need anything else before we cut.
A wide range of both, chosen job by job rather than from a fixed list. Tell us where it lives and what it has to survive, and we will talk through what to make it from.
Yes, for measuring and fitting. Cutting and sewing happen at the shop, and the fitting comes back to the vessel or the site.
