canvas canopy

Hi Beer gutz

I would, My canopy has a angle roof and water still pools.

Cheers Wilko

as said above.... mine was angled on my old hilux and the older the canopy got, the more it sagged and held water, flat would be worse IMHO. if i was to do it ever again on another vehicle, i'd have a flat metal roof and canvas sides instead of the canvas roof.

G'day Beergutz ( you're obviously a wine drinker ha ha )
Having a metal roof has many more advantages over a canvas one. I put thin gauge sheet galv on my last Patrol and it worked a treat. I also made a lightweight roof rack which was easily removable when not required, something not easily done with a canvas roof. Canvas roofs can flap around a bit when driving. Just my opinion - good luck with your project.


Cheers

I had a canvas canopy on my old double cab Nissan navara . Being smaller than a tray back water didn't pool.
Interesting compared to fiberglass canopy's I have had since things inside were cooler and for some reason less dust came in the canvas canopy's.

Mate go with the aluminium. Pop rivet securely to frame . Will last for years, cooler than canvas and a lot more solid. Sounds like the price is right too!
What some of the locals up here are doing is also using old aluminium screen doors as side gates/doors,for security, and having roll down canvas covers from roof frame. Very secure and keeps things private as well.
