Hey fellas,
I'm looking at getting one of those sliding (accordian type of thing) canopies for the ute. Just wondering if anyones had one? What did it work like? How much was it?
I've emailed Allans -Blueys etc, but as usual theyre too busy to reply. :)

Thanks
Mark

G'day NED,

Renmark SA, lots of sand/grit around your nearby treks! Sliding canopies do come with many moving parts that need protection from it all.

I'm assuming you need the height in your tray sometimes?

Yeah MB- I need a canopy that is able to take tall loads, yet is still able to cover small stuff (and me ). Doesnt seem to be many options other than a sliding canopy.

Ive seen plenty in my travels they seem be taught enough, decent zips YKK I assume.
Not sure how dust proof they would be, but more versatile than a canopy IMO
