You can add any number of water Canal Tiles to your Base Urban Set, to form a canal system in your city!. You have to pre-order a Base Set before adding any more tiles and/or base sets in your order.

Canal Tiles come in 6 different designs to allow variable configurations and expansions. All three harbour designs are available in "Contemporary" (more suitable for "Modern" sets) and "Medieval" Themes. As the docks are artificial, there are none with the texture of the Rustic "dirt". However, the medieval themed canals will look fine when combined with the "Rustic" theme.

These 30cm x 30cm (1'x1') Tiles can be combined to recreate a city canal system. Canal tiles represent mostly urban "river" areas, and they enclose the water with Quays on either side. The Urban parts are raised at 4cm, and the water runs from the middle of the tile's edge, at 7cm width and 1mm height. Owners of our standard Pedion River tiles will recognise the design concept.

The "urban" sides of each tile depicts the pattern from either "Medieval" or "Modern" themes. The water portion is treated with an awesome liquid glass finish.

Since our regular urban tile's height is at 1cm, there is a 3cm height difference meant to emphasise the vertical sides of the canals. You can "join" the canal tiles with your regular tiles just by adding some of our resin stairs. However, more raised tiles and/or sloped roads (by making use of the Urban Rises & Slopes Elevation System) will produce more interesting layouts, especially if combine with road overpasses and bridges. The sixth design (canal harbour exit) allows you to let your canals meet the sea.

The 6 Canal Tile Designs you can choose from are:

Straight Canal,
Straight Canal with Stepped Quay,
Straight Canal with Road Overpass
"L" Canal Turn
"T" Canal Junction
City Canal Harbour Exit

The Road overpass will include a road like the rest of your Set. You can use our Medieval Stone or Modern Bridges to place over the Canal, which are designed to fit the "Road overpass" tile.
