Everything you need to know about Canopy ute

 

In this section, we want to define the Canopy and everything you need to know about it. But before that, I mention a challenging trip in early September last year to the Cape York Peninsula in the state of Queensland. Where you face a special challenge at every point. Although we have traveled there in the dry season, the lack of Snorkel, Canopy and The most important 4×4 accessories for off-road was felt well.

There was no cover to protect the items in the rear cabin of our Ford Ranger when crossing waterways and wet roads. I decided that day that when I returned from the trip, I would definitely include the installation of the Canopy for Ford Ranger in my plans. That day I realized the reality of the canopy and its utility for a ute. And now I would like to share them with you. If you are also eager to hear them, follow me to the end of this section.

What is a Canopy?

Canopy in the general sense is a structure that is installed on the chassis, tub and tray of a ute car and is integrated with the walls and roof of the car. The canopy converts the open rear of the ute into an enclosed space so you can safely carry your valuables when you go camping.

But to buy a canopy, you should keep in mind some points that we will mention below. Before you go to our store, which is a canopy sales center in Australia, or any other store to buy a canopy, it is better to discuss the characteristics of the canopy you want.
For example, the type of steel or aluminum canopy is the first important feature of a canopy, which is certainly important for you. Although steel canopies have advantages, they also have disadvantages, which we will discuss in a separate section. But for now, know that steel canopies are stronger and safer, although their higher weight will increase your fuel consumption compared to aluminum ones. We recommend you to choose a light but sturdy canopy so that it does not increase your fuel costs.

There is another reason why you should use steel canopies. When going camping and hiking, if you are traveling for a long time, you definitely need more equipment. Accessories that your canopy may not have the capacity for all of them. However, only steel canopies allow you to place additional items on the roof, they are made of premium materials, and can withstand more than 500 kg.

If you use your ute for work, it is better to be careful when buying a canopy, which type of canopy is better and more suitable for you. If you are dealing with steel and aluminum tools, it is better to choose steel canopies that have a higher impact percentage. We prefer the use of steel canopies to aluminum examples made of aluminum alloys and fiberglass.

One of the other features of a good canopy are revolving doors or jacked doors. However, you don’t feel too much pressure when opening the doors. The use of windows or side doors is suitable for air conditioning inside the cabin and makes access to the inside of the canopy very convenient. Our Armorman steel canopies are equipped with such doors that you can access the space inside the canopy from both sides. Of course, these canopies are installed on the tub. Canopies that are installed on a tray or chassis will certainly provide you with more space and facilities.

What are the most important advantages of using a ute canopy?

Improving the appearance of your ute: As with anything else, we first consider the appearance of the canopy. It will certainly make a positive change in the back. Now it turns the rear tub into a closed space and is considered a part of the car cabin. Of course, the amount of positive changes in the appearance that the canopy creates depends on its design.
Security of your belongings: Another important aspect of a canopy is to protect your belongings from thieves and any other danger.
Increased vehicle resale value: Another benefit of installing a canopy is the resale value of the ute. Increased storage capacity, improved security, and vehicle appearance all increase the resale value of your vehicle.
