Heavy Duty Aluminium Ute Trays & Canopies Australian Made
These are usually aluminium, steel or composite and are essentially the same as a canopy that mounts to a tray, except its all one unit that attaches to your chassis. As technology progresses, we see commonly used materials change, and there are a few businesses out there now that are selling canopies made from composite materials. These are light, strong, require no welding and offer amazing sound and temperature insulation. Again, canvas canopies are extremely popular for tray’s, and they are usually attached to a metal frame.

These days most cars come with a reverse camera, but its not on all the time. It will be mainly as a market trailer to start with but am hoping to use it as a camping trailer in the future. I want to understand things like, whether should I mount directly to a frame or use the rubber bushes to mount. (Does it make a material difference?) and any insights on getting the heights right so it looks balanced and professional rather than awkward. Thankyou for the many articles you’ve taken the time to write, as a novice 4 wheel driver I’ve learnt a lot from you about 4WDing and the equipment required.
The width is usually based off your tray/well body, or the distance from one side of your outside of rear wheels to the other. Today, you can get canopies that won’t even allow you to pull the tab out without unlocking the canopy, which means the only way to get in is to literally cut a hole with a grinder. The normal fibreglass canopies that you see on well body Ute’s are extremely insecure, and can be broken into very, very easily.

I will say that our white canopy is never that warm inside , and I much prefer not having any vents or places for dust, water and moisture to get in. Of course, you can install this as an aftermarket mod, but a lot of people get it done when they purchase the canopy. At 6 foot 6 I know exactly what its like to bump your head, or to have to duck to get something, and when you are talking about a canopy that is accessed hundreds of times a week its not pleasant. It’s not the biggest thing in the world, but it adds more weight, and needs to be secured properly. Our canopy has a 50mm lip, and on the side where the kitchen is I propped the wooden structure up using some pine pieces.
