Truck Bed Covers - Armis retractable locking bed covers - RUGGED RIDGE
Bed covers (aka "tonneaus") are available in a bunch of styles and configurations. How do you figure out which one is right for you? Each style has its own benefits, so some things to consider would be things like materials, how far the cover opens, the ability to be removed, security, and of course - cost. Check out each of the main styles below and contact us with any questions or stop into one of our store locations, where we have many demo models in our showrooms. An open pickup truck bed can be less than ideal. Your cargo is exposed to snow and rain, can seemingly levitate and take flight on its own, or worse, yet – walk away with thieves. It only takes a minute for someone to walk up, grab, and go off with your gear. That big open pit behind you can also ruin your fuel economy. Tonneau covers are the solution. Truck bed covers are sleek, stylish, practical solutions and are available in many different styles, configurations, materials, and price ranges. Bed covers are built from hard or soft materials and are available in roll-up (either hard roll-up or soft roll up truck bed covers) folding, including the popular soft tri-fold truck bed cover, retractable tonneau, or solid one-piece styles. Regardless of which bed cover you go with, it will help protect your bed and cargo from the elements, and reduce wind drag. Today’s covers are all designed for easy bed access and several styles are fully removable for when you need every bit of bed space you can get. You can’t go wrong with any tonneau cover. There are different styles and price ranges, but you’re certain to find one that’s practical and stylish. Our H&H Truck and Outdoor specialists are well-trained and can help you find the perfect tonneau cover for your truck.BeD covers (tonneaUs)
Hard Folding
Folding truck bed covers are the most popular styles, because they are very water-resistant, secure your gear, and are easy to open and remove. Hard folding cover panels are built from composite materials or Aluminum and some are even available paint-matched or coated with spray on bed liner!
Soft Folding
Soft folding truck bed covers offer most of the same features of hard covers, but they are lighter-weight, and come at a more affordable price point. If protecting your gear from the elements is top-of-mind, a soft cover may be the answer for you. Panel materials range from industrial-grade synthetics to high-end canvas.
Solid covers
With over-the-rail coverage and no external hinges, a solid or "one piece" truck bed cover is the most secure and weather-resistant cover available, though, they are a bit more difficult to remove when you need a fully-open bed. Many are available paint-matched, too!
retractables
Retractable truck bed covers are like horizontal roll-up doors. When opened up, the cover sections stay safe inside of a toolbox-like canister at the front of the bed. You will need to sacrifice some bed space for a retractable tonneau and they are not easily removed, but they are very secure and are available in either manual or powered models.
hard roll-ups
Like the retractable covers, hard roll-up tonneau covers are strong and very secure. Unlike retractables, these roll up above the bed, so you do not lose any of your bed space. If you need to haul something tall, a hard roll-up can be easily removed and stored.
soft roll-ups
If you want an easy-to-operate and remove tonneau that's also budget-friendly, a soft roll-up tonneau cover might be for you. These low-profile covers sit nearly flush with the bed sides and look great. Soft roll-ups are available in a range of materials, from industrial-grade synthetics to high-end canvas-like fabrics.
I bought a bed cover as a Christmas gift for my husband at another location and had it delivered to the Trussville location as it was closer to our home. When it arrived they called to let me know it was in and when I arrived to pick it up it was very clear it was not going to fit in my car. They asked where I lived and it turned out one of the their employees did not live too far from us. He immediately volunteered to deliver to our house and even carried it up to the front porch! The customer service was beyond excellent and my husband loves his new bed cover. HIGHLY recommend!
