Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Gitsham different?
We’re the only Australian-made and crash-tested ute canopy manufacturer. Everything’s designed, built and finished right here in South Australia.
Are your canopies really Australian-made?
Yes. Not just an installation centre - they are 100% made in-house from marine-grade aluminium, designed and built by our team in Adelaide.
What does crash-tested mean?
It means our canopies have been independently crash-tested and certified to meet Australian safety standards - protecting you and your vehicle in real-world conditions.
How are your canopies mounted?
They’re chassis-mounted, not sitting on a tray. This gives you better handling, improved safety and lets you move the canopy to your next vehicle.
Who uses Gitsham canopies?
Trusted by Defence, Government fleets, emergency services and trades across Australia - plus weekend adventurers who want strength and safety.
What materials do you use?
Marine & structural grade aluminium that’s powder coated inside and out, so it won’t rust, peel or fade.
What features are included as standard?
Central locking, internal lighting, door-ajar alarm and rubber mats all come standard - no hidden extras or upsells.
Can I customise my canopy?
Yes. Choose setups for trade, fleet or 4x4 adventure - from tool storage and roof racks to fridge slides and drawers.
Can I visit your factory?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to tour our South Australian facility and see where your canopy is made. Transparency matters to us.
What warranty do you offer?
Every Gitsham canopy is backed by up to a 10-year structural warranty - built strong and built to last.

The Dirty Secret Of The Ute Canopy Industry
Did you know that the majority of big brand ute canopies sold in Australia are made in China using weak manufacturing methods to keep costs down?
❌ Weak Unistrut construction - Instead of double walled construction for hidden wiring and insulation options.
❌ Tray mounted not chassis mounted - Not super safe as it is only held down with 4 or 6 bolts typically.
❌ Heavy, cheap, poorly protected steel - Instead of marine grade aluminium.
❌ Limited powder coat coverage - Most competitors use wet spray or basic powder coat on the exterior without proper pre-treatment, leaving the inside bare and unprotected.
Gitsham has been manufacturing in Australia since 1917 and makes our ute canopies fully in-house at our facilities covering 20,000sqm in South Australia. Also offering national installation coverage.
✅ Fully powdercoated & corrosion treated - Every component is powdercoated individually + pre-treated + over cured against corrosion (RoHS & REACH compliant).
✅ Automotive grade, structurally engineering double walled construction - Much stronger long term than Unistrut.
✅ Marine and structural grade aluminium - 5000 series aluminium so you get strength, without the weight. No cheap steel.
✅ Always chassis mounted - Better manoeuvrability, stability, safety and strength.
