How To Choose The Right Canopy For Your Ute

No matter your business or the cargo you’re hauling, you’ll probably need a ute canopy to protect it and get the job done. At T.C Boxes, we offer a range of aluminium canopies to easily store your tools of the trade and protect them from damage or theft. Deciding which aluminium ute canopy is right for you, however, is easier said than done. 

There are many factors to consider when choosing an aluminium canopy that will make your life easier, your workflows more streamlined and your pack up and pack down faster. 

So, to help you decide which ute canopy is right for you, allow us to run through the main factors to consider and which style of aluminium canopy will work best for your needs.  

Selecting the right style and size 

There are a variety of aluminium canopies with different configurations, and some will suit your setup better than others. At T.C Boxes, we offer three distinct styles: 

Taking weight into consideration

A big part of deciding which aluminium canopy will be right for you is considering the weight requirements of your vehicle. Many of our aluminium ute canopies come with interior RHS bracing, which allows them to withstand up to 300kg on the roof without damage. If you’re unsure what weight requirements you’ll need for your setup, feel free to chat with one of our team. 

Storage

From dedicated pull-out tool draws and appointed toolboxes to large aluminium ute canopies that can be packed in various ways, what you need to store will be a major component in which option you go for in a ute canopy. As we’ve mentioned, if you often throw extra bulky items into the tray, a half canopy will give you extra room for that day’s haul. 

If you’ve got a trusty four-legged companion, you may want to consider a ute canopy with a dog section. These designs will keep your pet safe from the elements, offering shelter and extra security when needed. Our dog-friendly full aluminium canopies have been designed to keep your furry friend safe and secure, with a fully reinforced floor and a separate section that keeps them on one side and your equipment on the other. 

Accessories

Once you’ve selected the spiffy ute canopy of your dreams, you may still need a little extra customisation to really make it the workhorse you’ll need day in and day out. This is where our aluminium canopy accessories come in.

Accessories will help you make the most of your ute canopy’s space and keep delicate items like jerry cans upright and safe throughout your journeys. If you’re often out in remote areas, a spare wheel holder accessory will give you extra peace of mind should you come to a cropper, and kitchen storage slides provide a great place to store your provisions to fuel your busy day.
