Are Ute Covers Waterproof?

When it comes to protecting your cargo from the unpredictable elements, a high-quality ute cover is more than just an accessory, it’s a necessity. At Cairnscorp, we understand that your ute is not just a vehicle, but a workhorse that needs to keep your goods safe, dry, and secure in all weather conditions. That’s why we custom-manufacture durable, weather-resistant ute covers designed to fit perfectly and perform reliably. Whether you’re transporting tools, equipment, or personal belongings, our covers provide the peace of mind you need, ensuring that your cargo stays protected from dust, rain, and snow.

Our Manufacturing Process

We typically require the ute to be on-site for a full day to manufacture and install the cover. We use Weatherguard fabric, a woven polyester material with a PVC coating on the face side, featuring an embossed leather grain coated with a satin acrylic lacquer. This combination ensures durability and protection from the elements.

Why Ute Covers Are Essential for Protecting Your Cargo

A ute cover is crucial for several reasons:

• • Weather Protection: It shields the tray from dust, rain, and snow, ensuring your cargo remains undamaged by the elements.
  • Better Design: We fit our ute covers with one or two bars, depending on the size of the tray. These bars elevate the cover, allowing rainwater to run off and preventing pooling.
  • Fuel Efficiency: A soft ute cover can improve fuel consumption by up to 12% by reducing drag.
  • Versatility: These covers give you the option to fully or partially cover the tray, allowing you to transport various objects securely.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Soft covers add style to both vintage and new utes, making them an affordable yet impactful addition.

1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove debris, then wash with mild, warm soapy water and rinse with clean, cold water.
2. Regular Inspection: Check the cover regularly for signs of wear, such as stitching, wear points, or holes. Early detection makes repairs easier.
3. Avoid Damage: When carrying cargo, ensure no sharp parts can puncture the fabric.
