The barge style narrowboat lends itself ideally to the incorporation of a wheelhouse. These are available in various forms from the superb (but pricey) marine style aluminium and acrylic offering above from Seaglaze through more traditional hard wood designs down to very simple pram hoods.
In the past wheelhouses on narrowboats have been very much a non event with the increased air draft being a major concern. The Barge Style overcomes this by lowering the wheelhouse floor thus enabling the overall air draft to be reduced dramatically. Even with the wheelhouse erected it is still possible pass under many bridges and if the need arises you can simply lower the wheelhouse roof.
