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.
