Clever canopy storage solutions for the busy tradie
As a tradie, the last thing you want to do is dig through your rig searching for specific tools or gear. After all, time is money.
With our team filled with tradies, we asked our team for their canopy storage hacks and what they’d choose if they had to deck out their work vehicles again.
Smaller canopies to give you more tray flex
Sometimes having your whole ute tray as storage isn’t practical. You might need to store or transport other equipment or simply need more flexibility when travelling to jobs.
This is where the 1000L Aluminum canopy can come in handy. Its smaller size gives you more tray flexibility while still giving you the quality and durability of a larger canopy.
Our canopy pick:
1000L Aluminium canopy
Canopies with lift-off options
Lift-off or jack off canopies can be a great addition to your rig, giving you the option to remove it easily when you need to.
With many brands like Touring and Trade including legs, you can simply lift and shift your canopy at any time. Making it perfect if you need your tray empty every now and then!
Our canopy pick:
1000L Aluminium canopy
Custom storage set-ups
Sometimes the best storage solutions are those you’ve purpose-built. While this sounds expensive, working with a canopy expert like Touring and Trade can be quite affordable.
As well as having it custom fit to your vehicle, choosing a custom canopy design allows you to design it with all the inclusions you actually need and add-ons you want (such as additional security).

Quality materials, longer term benefits
While grabbing the cheapest canopy might work for now, going down the quality route means more durability and bang for buck for you in the long run.
When choosing your canopy, look for solutions that include marine-grade aluminium and quality materials that are dust, water and weather proof. Fully recessed doors and concealed stainless steel hinges like those used in our canopies can also provide additional security.

While the Touring and Trade range comes with a quality promise, a popular favourite is our 1500L aluminium canopy. It’s generous door opening also makes it perfect for fridges. Great for that cheeky weekend away …
