Bakkie Covers / Tonneau Covers

Tonneau Covers for Bakkies – Clip-On

Why does your Bakkie need a Tonneau Cover?

A Tonneau Cover is a must-have accessory for any bakkie owner. Fitted over the load bed, it protects your cargo from dust, rain, and harsh weather while also improving your vehicle’s aerodynamics. Without a cover, your bakkie acts like a bucket catching air as you drive, creating drag that makes your engine work harder—and that means higher fuel consumption. A fitted cover reduces this drag, helping you save fuel over time.

While Tonneau Covers are generally similar across brands, some are designed to fold, retract, or tilt open. At Midrand Canopies, we focus on what works best. Clip-On and Rope Tie-On covers—durable, easy to use, and built for South African conditions. We stock covers to fit almost every type of bakkie, including Double Cabs, Extended Cabs, and Single Cabs.

Clip-on Covers

Is a Tonneau Cover 100% waterproof?

The short answer to this question is, when properly installed, a tonneau cover will keep the vast majority of water from entering the bakkie’s load bed. To describe a tonneau cover as 100% watertight or waterproof would be inaccurate but the most you’ll usually get are a few drops intruding during a rainstorm.

What You Should Know About Tonneau Covers for Bakkies (Tarpaulin Covers)

All our bakkie covers are sold as complete kits, which include the aluminium rail system, pegs, tension rods, and all necessary fittings. The aluminium tracks are installed inside the bakkie’s load bin, and the cover is securely fitted onto these tracks for a clean, durable finish.

It’s important to note that Tonneau Covers for Bakkies are not universal. For example, a cover designed for one double cab may not fit another, even if they appear similar. Additionally, covers from different manufacturers are not always compatible, as the aluminium rail systems and fittings can vary.

If your bakkie is fitted with a rollbar or sports bar, the cover will need to be custom-made to fit. This is especially true for non-standard bars, where the size and thickness can differ significantly. In such cases, we may require exact measurements before manufacturing the cover.

Prefer to do the installation yourself? No problem. We can courier the cover and full kit directly to you, complete with fitting instructions. (Courier fees apply.)

Rope Tie-On Elasticated Tonneau Covers

Our Rope Tie-On Tonneau Covers (also known as elasticated bakkie covers) are made with the same high-quality materials and durability as our Clip-On Covers, but are designed to fasten differently. These covers are UV-protected for long-lasting performance and are weather-resistant—keeping out most water, dust, and debris.

Fitted with an elasticated rope (bungee cord), the cover securely hooks onto clips mounted along the sides of your bakkie. Many vehicles come standard with these hooks, eliminating the need for additional installation hardware. This design allows for quick and easy fitting, with the elastic cord keeping the cover firmly in place.

Elasticated rope tauno covers/bakkie covers are available for just about any make and model of bakkie.

Are Tonneau Covers/Bakkie Covers lockable?

Tonneau covers are generally not lockable, but then then again there are some manufacturers who do supply lockable covers. Whilst it is maybe what you are looking for, if safety is your main priority, then a tonneau cover may not meet your needs.

If you are looking for a cover that is lockable, why not check out our range of  Aluminium Roller Shutter Covers on our website for more on this product
