Kango Canopies has you Covered

 How a canopy is a must for your bakkie.

Bakkies are incredibly useful vehicles, but the fact that their load bins are exposed does raise a few issues.  Sadly, theft is an issue in South Africa, which means that driving around with goods or equipment in the back of your bakkie is a risk.  You also risk losing goods out of the bakkie if travelling at high speed or on a poorly surfaced road.  There is also the risk of having any goods in the back of your bakkie ruined by rain, hail, or even intense sunshine.  This is why providing your bakkie with a lovely new canopy is a smart choice.

But, even if you don’t use your bakkie for business, and rarely use it to transport goods, there are still more reasons why a canopy is a practical choice for you.  You don’t want to park your bakkie in a public place with a month’s worth of shopping sitting out in the open, nor do you want to be caught in a rainstorm.  And, of course, you don’t want to place your little ones at risk by having them ride in the back of an open bakkie.

If all this makes sense and you feel that you should get a canopy for your bakkie, make sure you go to a reputable manufacturer.  For years Kango Canopies has been supplying South Africans with superior quality bakkie canopies.  So, if you’re in the market for a canopy, Kango has you covered. 

Bakkie Canopy Varieties

Now that you’ve decided you need a canopy for your bakkie, you’re probably wondering about the different types of canopies that are available, and which one is best suited for your needs?

Some people need canopies only for shelter/shade while others need it for security reasons. You also need to decide what your bakkie will primarily be used for. Will you be transporting people, small goods, valuable goods or maybe large items that need a big door to fit it into the loading bin?

The basic canopy options that are available today are:

• One Ton LWB Canopies
• Double Cab Bakkie Canopies
• Single Cab Bakkie Canopies
• Slide-on Bakkie Canopies
• Low-Line Bakkie Canopies
• Half Door Bakkie Canopies
• Full Door Bakkie Canopies
• Space-saver Bakkie Canopies

 

The list above is your standard canopy-types, but some people need something more tailor-made. 

 

For the real off-roaders, aluminium steel-plated canopies can be manufactured. These are great to use when you have things like petrol cans that need to be mounted to your canopy for those extra long trips into the bush.

Others might want a sleeker and sporting look of a flat canopy that fits flush with the roof of the bakkie. If you’re a keen camper, a canopy that is fitted with a tent on top would be ideal.

Whatever your needs, there’s a canopy out there that is perfect for you.

Waiting for a rainy day

It won’t happen to me...

Ever been stressed that you needed to transport something rather large that doesn’t even fit in your hatchback? Or stressed that your car would not be able to handle the weight? But all of a sudden, you find that friend that has the bakkie, he offers to help, and now it’s raining. This is not an unusual scenario, but it is a scenario that is often overlooked when investing in a bakkie. 

 

There is, however, a suitable and easy solution that is not expensive, is convenient and will solve all your problems. Canopies are often underrated and neglected when purchasing a bakkie because we always assume we’ll never be caught in such a situation. However, what we don’t consider is that rain is not the only reason to purchase a canopy for your bakkie. Storage in open locations when garages are not available, having a lockable compartment overnight, transporting materials that are fragile at high speeds because of wind – it simply makes sense to have all the added benefits of a canopy. They are easy to purchase, easy to use, easy to attach and detach and, most importantly, will definitely be useful on almost every occasion. Don’t miss the opportunity, and invest in one now, before you’re left in a situation needing one.

At one Point, isn’t it easier to just Share?

Even been irritated that you spent hours working on a document, only to find that a colleague was working on the same thing? Now, you’ve been told you have to work your way through both files and see who changed what and where and which version you need to use as your final copy. More than that, now you need to get this copy to the entire team on this project, but it’s actually too big to send via email. Short of walking around your office with a flash drive, or sending a CD via DHL, this is turning into a nightmare!

What if your company used a tool, in which you could store all your documents online, you were able to know when other people were editing a file so you didn’t duplicate work and you could also collaborate and share files with any team member, anywhere in the world? Well, that tool does exist, and is available as part of the Microsoft suite that we all know and love so much. It’s called Microsoft Sharepoint and is available to use for all companies. It is easy to use and even easier to attend training courses on how to use it. You now no longer need to worry about who’s working on what, when it’s due, how you would send it across the country – attend Microsoft Sharepoint training courses to and make your work life easier, for you and your team!
