As ARB canopies have a strong internal structure, they have two weight ratings – dynamic weight (weight the canopy can carry when your vehicle is moving) and static weight (weight the canopy can carry when the vehicle is standing still).
The dynamic weight of ARB’s canopies with internal supports is approximately 100 kg, while the static weight is between 350 kg and 400 kg.

Most high-quality canopies, including ARB canopies, are designed to be water-resistant. They feature weather seals, reinforced corners, and water-resistant hinges to keep your gear dry during rain or other wet conditions.
However, it’s important to note that no canopy is completely waterproof. It’s always a good idea to take precautions and use additional protective measures, such as waterproof storage containers, for particularly sensitive items.
While some canopies may offer enough space to sleep in, it’s important to consider ventilation, comfort and safety before hitting the snooze button. Canopies with proper ventilation systems, such as ARB’s optional roof vents, are generally more suitable for sleeping. It’s essential to ensure proper insulation and bedding to make sleeping arrangements comfortable – especially in scorching hot summers or freezing winters.
Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines and consider modifying your canopy to create a safe and comfortable sleeping space.
Maintaining and cleaning your 4×4 canopy is essential to ensure it lasts for the long haul. Here are some general maintenance tips for your ARB canopy.

Yes, it will. Fitting a canopy means you might not be able to transport very large items like dirt bikes or big appliances. However, the trade-off is a large, protected space for other types of cargo. When choosing a 4×4 canopy, it’s important to weigh the benefits of security and weather protection against losing some traditional ute functionalities.
With their customizability, wide range of accessories and durable, weatherproof construction, ARB canopies are a cut above standard 4×4 solutions. Whether you need extra storage space or you’re transforming your rig into an off-road machine, here’s why you should choose a 4×4 canopy from ARB.
At ARB, we’ve got everything you need to customise your 4×4. From spare wheel carriers to roof racks, suspension upgrades and more, take your vehicle to the next level with our range.
Absolutely! Canopies offer a range of customisation options. You can add ute liners, drawer systems, shelving, tie-down points, and fridge slides. For pet owners, canopies made from inert ABS plastic with sliding windows and vents are ideal for safely transporting animals.
Many canopies are compatible with optional roof rails and racks. This feature enhances your vehicle’s versatility, allowing you to carry long items like ladders, excess gear such as swags and jerry cans, or even fit touring accessories like rooftop tents or awnings.

Canopies have significantly evolved since their introduction in the mid-1970s. Earlier models were made from fibreglass, but modern canopies are typically crafted from ABS, a thermoplastic polymer that’s light, strong, and UV stable. This material ensures the canopy remains durable in harsh weather conditions.
A well-designed canopy should mount correctly to your vehicle, attaching to the structural hard points of the tub rather than just clamping to the top edge. This design minimises the impact on the vehicle and prevents potential tub damage or cracking, eliminating warranty concerns.
