    Canopy Set Up

    What is everyone running as a set up in their ute canopy/deck?

    Looking at building a platform that sits to the front on the canopy that two dogs can sit on while travelling and keep them above gear and animals on the deck itself.

    Interested to see what people have set up in their canopy?

    Cheers Ben

    That's how I run my canopy I just use a 2pices of 20mm plywood joint together bot the height of the top of the deck & have plywood sides that go down & sit on top of wheels in deck & it comes out bot half the canopy then I just use car tubing & make up a bungee & hook round tie down point at front & hook round the plywood to pull it to the front off canopy it only takes 2seconds to take it out at times I carry 5 dogs up there & they love traveling like that if you don't understand give me a message & I can send some photos

    Back on mine I have a sheet of ply across the top I cut 150mm off to make the lip so it’s just over 1m wide and load all my gear onto and leaves the tray to put the dirty gear and animals into, simple as. The windows on the sides both open right up which makes access to the back of it a lot easier.
