While a truck canopy is primarily used to cover the cargo that you're hauling from place to place, you might be surprised to learn how versatile it can be. Untie it from where it's attached to your truck, remove it from the vehicle, and you now have a durable cover that can serve a variety of different purposes. With it's tough construction, waterproof and weather resistant fabric options, and variety of colors, styles and sizes to choose from, your truck canopy can be an invaluable accessory to both your on and off road habits.



Truck canopies can serve as a great way to get protection from the elements. Stay dry from the rain or cool off in the shade by using your canopy as an awning, anchored to the side of a dwelling or hung above a porch to provide refuge the way an umbrella would. You can feel assured that since canopies are designed to be tough, sturdy enough to transport rugged materials like rocks, sharp pebbles or gravel, they won't blow over or collapse the way other, more flimsy coverings could.

Another lesser known use for a canopy is as a swimming pool cover. Mesh canopies are ideal for this, as they are light, buoyant and can resist the harsh rays of from the sun. Canopies made of this material also allow water, like the rain or melted snow, to pass through the surface, not accumulate and weight it down.
