Ute Canvas Canopy
The Top Ute Canvas Canopy Options Available
Searching for a ute canvas canopy for your vehicle?
When looking for a ute canvas canopy, there are several factors to consider. Here are some of the most important ones:
- Functionality: Consider how you plan to use your canopy. Will you be using it for camping, work, or both? Make sure the canopy you choose is designed to meet your specific needs.
- Materials: The materials used to build the canopy should be strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion. Aluminum is the best choice because it ticks all the boxes and is lightweight as well.
- Design: The design of the canopy should be customized to fit your specific needs. Consider the size and shape of your ute, as well as any other equipment you plan to transport. A good canopy should be easy to load and unload and should provide a secure and stable platform for your gear.
- Ease of installation: The canopy should be easy to install and remove. Ask for a canopy design that can used conveniently.
- Price: Canopies can be expensive, so it’s important to consider your budget. Look for a canopy that provides good value for money and meets your specific needs.

Great Racks has teamed up with one of the best upholsterers in the business and we offer fabrication of your canopy frame and your canopy cover, all in the same booking while you continue to enjoy the convenience of our free courtesy ute.
The covers produced by this team of upholsterers are not traditional canvas, instead a far superior, marine grade product called Marine Hooding is used. This is the same fabric that has been used on boat canopies for years and has many advantages over canvas –
- More visually appealing with a nice, firm fit – no more flapping canvas
- Doesn’t shrink like canvas so there’s no risk of damaging zips or elastic loops
- Mould and mildew resistant
- UV resistant so your cover won’t fade like canvas
- Same tensile strength as canvas
- Easy to clean and stain resistant
- Always waterproof – never needs to be waterproof treated, unlike canvas
Customised Cover Solutions
All covers are custom made for a superior fit and come standard with 3 doors, each with Pascal Premium marine grade zips and quality elasticised loops. There are also numerous options you can choose to customise your canopy cover to suit your needs.
- Extra zip to create another door in the cover to easily access a tool box or fridge
- Flyscreens to enable you to keep the bugs out and sleep in the canopy with airflow
- Windows behind the cab and in the rear of the cover to increase visibility
- Pressurising vents to help keep the dust out of your canopy when driving off road and to increase ventilation for a fridge
- Clip on is available for all well body vehicles and some tray backs in place of the traditional bungee cords
