FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between steel and aluminium canopies?
Steel canopies offer superior strength and durability, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications. Aluminium canopies are lighter, naturally corrosion-resistant, and provide better fuel efficiency due to reduced weight.
Can I get my canopy color-matched to my vehicle?
Yes, we offer professional color matching services. We can match your canopy to your vehicle's exact color using your VIN number for a seamless, integrated look.
What is the warranty period for your canopies?
Our canopies come with a comprehensive warranty period. Our steel and aluminium canopies typically have a 2-year structural warranty. Please refer to the warranty details on the individual product page.
Do your canopies come with installation?
Our canopies are designed for DIY installation with detailed instructions included. However, we recommend professional installation for optimal fitment and safety. We can arrange installation through our network of approved installers. We also offer installations at our warehouse in Coopers Plains, Brisbane upon appointment.
Can I add accessories to my canopy after purchase?
Absolutely! Our canopies are designed with modularity in mind. You can add roof racks, internal storage systems, window upgrades, and various other accessories at any time after your initial purchase.
What about spare parts and repairs?
We stock spare parts for all our canopy models. In the event of damage, we can provide replacement parts or assist with repairs through chat and telephone support. We have a strong focus on repairability to ensure your canopy lasts for years to come.
