Price and payment
What does a canopy cost?
Double Cab canopies are R23,900 and Extra Cab canopies are R25,900. Every price includes fitting at our Florida, Roodepoort workshop. See the price for your model on the vehicles page.
What does the price include?
The laser-cut 1.5mm 304 stainless steel body, matte powder coat, solid steel side doors on gas struts, tinted glass rear door, integrated roof rack, six high-security locks keyed alike, rubber seals on every opening and fitting at our workshop. You only pay extra for add-ons and for fitting away from Florida.

How much is the deposit?
R7,000. It books your build slot and covers your steel. The balance is paid when your canopy is built and fitted.
How do I pay?
By EFT into our FNB business account in the name Veld Armour (Pty) Ltd, with your quote number as the reference. We send the banking details with your quote. We will never ask you to pay into a personal account.
Is the deposit refundable?
No. Every canopy is cut to order for a specific bakkie, so the deposit is non-refundable once your build is booked. The full terms are on our terms page.
Build and lead time
How long does it take?
3 to 5 weeks from the day your deposit reflects. Every canopy is built to order, so nothing sits on a shelf. We tell you promptly if anything shifts.
Can I get it sooner?
A priority build is R2,500 and moves you up the queue, depending on workshop capacity. We still need reasonable time to cut, weld and powder coat.
What do you need from me to start?
Your make, model, year and cab type, plus two clear photos of your bakkie: one from the rear and one from the side. The photos are how we make sure we build for the exact model.
Can I change my order after paying?
Yes, within 5 days of booking. Send the change in writing and we issue an updated order form.
Can I see a canopy before I pay?
Yes. Viewings at our Florida, Roodepoort workshop are by appointment. You are also welcome to come and see your own canopy while it is being built.
Fitment and delivery
Which bakkies do you fit?
Toyota Hilux and Land Cruiser, Ford Ranger and Raptor, VW Amarok, Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Triton (2016 to 2023), GWM P-Series, Mazda BT-50 and Mahindra Karoo. The full list with prices is on the vehicles page.
My bakkie is not on the list. Can you help?
WhatsApp us your make, model and year. We add models regularly and will tell you straight if we can build for it.
Do you fit outside Gauteng?
Yes, anywhere in South Africa. Fitting at our Florida workshop is free. Anywhere else, a flat R3,500 covers transport and fitting.
Does my load bin need to be empty?
Yes. Please remove roll bars, tonneau covers, cattle rails and other accessories before fitment. If we remove them on the day there is a flat R1,000 removal fee.
How long does fitting take?
Fitting is done by our own team on the day you are booked in. We confirm the time with you when your canopy is ready.
The canopy
What is it made of?
1.5mm 304 stainless steel, CNC laser-cut from a design for your exact model, then hand-welded and powder coated.
Why steel and not fibreglass?
Steel takes a knock and keeps its shape. A canopy that carries a roof rack, gets loaded with tools and drives on gravel needs a structural body. Steel also gives a thief far more work.
What colours can I get?
Matte Black, White or Grey, all powder coated. You can choose a different colour for the canopy body, the doors and the roof rack. We do not do gloss or high-shine finishes.
Will it rust?
304 stainless steel resists corrosion well, and the powder coat adds a second layer of protection. Chips from stones or loading should be touched up, which we do as part of our maintenance service.
How do the doors open?
Both side doors and the rear door lift up on gas struts and stay up, so you can reach your load from three sides.
Does one key open everything?
Yes. All six locks are keyed alike.
Does it keep dust and rain out?
Rubber seals on every opening keep dust and rain away from your load.
After your canopy is fitted
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Your canopy is covered against defects in materials and workmanship. The details are on our terms and warranty page.
Do you do repairs and servicing?
Yes. Powder coat, gas struts, locks, rubbers and framework. Tick what you need on the maintenance page and send it on WhatsApp.
What is The Armoury?
Our range of laser-cut steel accessories, made in the same workshop. See The Armoury.
Is Veld Armour a registered company?
Yes. Veld Armour (Pty) Ltd, registration 2026/442101/07, with an FNB business account in the company name. You are welcome to visit the workshop before you pay.
Nothing matches that. WhatsApp us the question and we will answer it.
