1. Tailored to Fit Your Work and Gear


Every tradie’s needs are different. Maybe you carry power tools, ladders, welding gear, or plumbing supplies. Off-the-shelf canopies are one-size-fits-all which means they often don’t work perfectly for what you need. At Blackstone, we sit down with you to figure out how you work and what gear you carry, then design a canopy that fits your ute like a glove. Need extra compartments, shelving, or specific door layouts? We’ve got you covered.



2. Built Tough to Handle NZ Conditions


We all know how wild New Zealand weather can be... one minute it’s blazing sun, the next it’s pouring rain or blasting wind. Your tools and gear need to be protected no matter what. Our canopies are built tough from premium materials that stand up to the elements and keep everything inside dry and secure. No more soggy tools or dust-covered gear after a day on site.


3. Security You Can Trust


Tools are expensive, and losing them to theft hurts your wallet and your work schedule. A custom canopy comes with lockable doors and secure storage options designed to keep your stuff safe. You can park your ute anywhere, knowing your gear won’t be an easy target for opportunists. This peace of mind lets you focus on the job without worrying about your tools.


4. Better Organisation = More Efficiency


A messy ute setup can cost you time and stress when you’re hunting for the right tool. Custom canopies let you organise your gear smartly with racks, shelves, and compartments exactly where you want them. When everything has a place, you waste less time digging around and get the job done faster. It’s all about working smarter, not harder.

5. Adds Value to Your Ute


A quality custom canopy will make your daily grind easier and boost your ute’s resale value. Buyers appreciate a well-thought-out setup that’s built to last and designed for serious work. If you ever decide to upgrade or sell, having a durable, custom canopy will pay off.
