Which Ute Canopy Is Right for You?
E-Series UniStrut Canopy
Our latest design, built from 2.5mm 5052 marine grade aluminium with internal and external UniStrut channels, reinforced construction and published load ratings. UniStrut makes it easier to install, move and reconfigure compatible accessories without repeatedly drilling into the canopy. See the E-Series flat plate lift off canopy.
Lift Off Canopy

Flat Plate Canopy
A flat plate aluminium canopy made from 2.5mm 5052 marine grade aluminium, built for tools, gear and everyday work. Available in standard, lift off and dog box styles.
Checker Plate Canopy

Ute Canopy FAQs
What is the difference between flat plate and checker plate canopies?
The main difference is the surface finish: flat plate has a smooth finish and checker plate has a raised checker pattern. Both are made from 5052 marine grade aluminium. Read our flat vs checker plate canopy guide for more.
What size ute canopy do I need?
It depends on your tray dimensions, available mounting space and intended use. Measure the usable length and width of your tray before ordering, or contact our Thomastown team and we'll help you choose a compatible size.
Can a canopy be lift off?
Yes. Our lift off canopies are designed to be removed from the tray. Choose the correct configuration before installation so the canopy and its internal load are supported when it is off the tray.
Do you install canopies?
Yes. Professional installation is available at our Thomastown, Melbourne facility. See our canopy installation options.
Do you deliver canopies Australia wide?
Yes. Eligible canopies can be dispatched to more than 1,000 courier depots across Australia, or picked up from our Thomastown warehouse. Delivery pricing depends on the product, dimensions and destination. See our shipping information.
