First, consider what type of ute you have and what you plan to store in the canopy. If you have a large ute or small truck and plan to carry large or heavy items, then you’ll want to look for a canopy with a stronger frame and sturdy construction. On the other hand, if you have a smaller ute and won’t be carrying a lot of weight, then you can opt for a lighter canopy.
Next, consider how often you’ll be using the canopy. If you plan to use it frequently, then you’ll want to look for a canopy with a locking mechanism that’s easy to open and close. If you don’t plan to use it as often, then you can go with a simpler design.
The material of the canopy is also an important factor. Canopies can be made from a variety of materials such as aluminum, fibreglass, plastic or a combination. Aluminum is lightweight, strong and rust-resistant, but can be more expensive. Fibreglass is also lightweight and rust-resistant, but it’s more expensive than aluminum. Plastic is the least expensive option, but it’s not as strong or durable as the other two materials.
Finally, consider the aesthetics of the canopy, and how will it look on your vehicle. If you’re buying it for work, some canopy surfaces are easier to sign and write on and have a better finish. You want a canopy that not only stows your cargo away safely, provides protection, but also looks good. Look for a canopy that complements the colour and style of your truck.
