Tonneau Covers Offer Protection from the Elements

There is nothing quite like loading your tools in the bed of your truck and heading out to the jobsite, only to watch the heavens open up and drench everything. All of your materials and expensive tools are now soaking wet, not a very good way to treat them when you consider how much money you have invested in them. This is exactly what tonneau covers were created and there are many different styles to choose from.

Today tonneau covers are available in a variety of materials such as vinyl, ABS, TPO and aluminum. Vinyl covers offer protection from the weather and little else, aluminum covers are built to take a load, protect your cargo from the elements and provide the best security. When you are a part of the construction industry, you need to protect your investments at all times and a Bak Liner tonneau cover is the perfect solution.

Protect Your Possessions with a Tonneau Cover

Having a pickup truck is a great way to carry virtually anything you need for your home or business. Unfortunately, we do not live in a society where it is safe to leave your possessions laying out in the open bed of your truck. In order to properly protect your tools, groceries or anything else you might place in the bed of your truck, you are going to need some type of tonneau cover.

While those soft vinyl tonneau covers can keep the rain, dust and snow at bay, they are relatively useless when it comes to keeping people honest. The only way you are going to be able to store your valuable possessions safely in the bed of your truck is to install a hard, locking tonneau cover. When combined with a locking tailgate, your property will be fully protected from not only the elements, but anyone who might be tempted to steal them.

Bak Liner builds a tonneau cover to fit virtually any modern pickup truck and offers solid, folding and retractable versions to suit most needs.

Aluminum Tonneau Covers

How are Your Aluminum Tonneau Covers Finished

While many people buy their aluminum tonneau covers for their durability, everyone wants their tonneau covers to look good too. Our aluminum tonneau covers are built from aircraft grade aluminum to ensure that they are among the strongest on the market. However, we know that strength is not everything; we take pride in the fact that they stay looking beautiful for many years.

All of our aluminum tonneau covers are finished with a very rugged powder coated enamel that will stand up to the worst that Mother Nature has to offer. Many of our competitors simply spray on their painted finishes. While this may look good when the tonneau cover is new, it does not take long before this type of finish is scratched and peeling. When you want a tonneau cover that is going to stand the test of time and still look good, Bak Liner can build one just for you.

Bak Liner builds aluminum tonneau covers for the majority of today’s pickup trucks, visit our online site and see if we have one for you.

Use the Whole Bed with One of Our Folding Tonneau Covers

One of the biggest complaints we hear from customers who have purchased folding tonneau covers from our competitors, is that the only way they can use the whole length of their bed is to remove the cover.

When you need to use the full length of your truck bed, the last thing you want is to have to remove your tonneau cover; our folding cover is designed to fold neatly out of the way up against the back of the cab.

Hard Tonneau Covers

Are Hard Tonneau Covers Built to Last?

When you stop to consider that hard tonneau covers represent a fairly large investment, you need to know that the one that you buy is going to last. One of the biggest problems with soft tonneau covers is that they only look good for a very short period of time before they succumb to the elements and start to fade and crack.  When you spend your hard earned money on a tonneau cover, you want it to last for years and stay looking good.

Our hard tonneau covers are made from materials such as TPO and aircraft grade aluminum. Both of these materials are weatherproof and will stay looking good for many years. What’s more our hard tonneau covers will protect the content of your bed from the elements and from thieves who can easily cut through a vinyl cover and steal your possessions.

Choosing the Right Tonneau Covers

There are so many different brands of tonneau covers on the market that it can be very hard to decide which one is going to give you the best value for your money. The one tonneau cover that you should avoid at all costs is the soft cover. Not only does the vinyl have a short lifespan and provide nothing in the way of real security, you have to drill dozens of holes in the sides of your bed and tailgate. This can lead to rust and loss of resale value.

Hard tonneau covers work using rails that are attached to the inside of your bed using clamps. No holes will ever have to be drilled creating no damage that leads to rust. They are available in lift up, fold up and roll back formats. All of them are available in locking versions to provide the ultimate in security and are made from TPO or aircraft grade aluminum depending on the style you buy.

Tonneau Cover

Choosing the Right Tonneau Cover

When you own a pickup truck you have access to a very large storage and transportation area in the bed. At the same time the sun, rain, snow and would be thieves have the same access. With this in mind, it is time to think about putting a tonneau cover on the bed of your truck. There are two basic styles, the soft cover and the hard cover. If you are interested in a cover that is only going to look good for a few months and provide little to no security, the soft tonneau cover is the right choice.

If you want a tonneau cover that will provide you with the ultimate in protection from the elements and keep out thieves, you need to invest in a hard tonneau cover. There are one piece covers that open from the rear and are hinged at the front of your bed, folding tonneau covers that allow you to open only a section at a time and roll back covers that are fast and easy to open and close. Choose the one that best suits your needs as all of them can be locked to provide total security.

Bak Liner has a tonneau cover to fit every need, visit our online catalog for more details.

Aluminum Tonneau Covers

Aluminum Tonneau Covers for the Construction Industry

The construction industry is notoriously hard on every piece of equipment they use. If it is not built to take the abuse, any equipment they buy will be cast aside and replaced with something that will. This applies to a mainstay of the company pickup truck, the tonneau cover. While tonneau covers have long been made from vinyl or plastic, these simply are not strong enough to do the job. Today, aluminum tonneau covers are rapidly gaining in popularity for their durability.

Our aluminum tonneau covers are made from aircraft grade aluminum that has been powder coated to provide a strong finish that will handle scratches, chemicals and most other forms of abuse. The cover is strong enough to support up to 400 pounds of weight so that they can be used to carry a load above the tools and supplies you need to keep covered in the security of your pickup truck bed while on and off the job.

Bak Liner builds aluminum tonneau covers to fit the majority of today’s pickup trucks, please visit our main site to find one for your truck.

Folding Tonneau Covers

Why Folding Tonneau Covers are Better than Soft Covers

For many years the only type of tonneau covers available were the soft variety made of vinyl and fastened with dozens of snap fasteners. While they worked to keep out the rain and snow, they were not the easiest things to use when the wind was blowing or the rains were pouring down. Inevitably you ended up getting soaked while trying to open and close them. Our folding tonneau covers use a simple latching system that makes it easy to open one or all of the panels quickly.

Whether you need to open just one panel to put a few groceries in the bed or have to open the entire bed up, the latching system on our folding tonneau covers allows you to do this using a single one handed pull that can be used from either side of your truck. No more fussing with snap fasteners and trying to stretch that dried out vinyl in the rain.
