Roll-up Tonneau Covers - A Buying Guide
Roll-up tonneau covers have been around for years. You’ve see them on plenty of trucks. Maybe you like the look of them, maybe you don’t. Either way, they’re worth every penny. Let’s go over why.

Cost First and foremost, they are inexpensive. While a hard shell tonneau cover can sell for well over a thousand dollars, you can pick up most soft, roll-up style tonneau covers for just a few hundred dollars.

Shipping And speaking of expense, don’t forget about shipping. While many large items have to be shipped through a freight service (body kits, Fiberglass tonneau covers, hoods), your typical roll-up style, soft tonneau cover (due to its compact profile) fits in quite a small box and will ship through standard ground shipping service. And unlike larger, bulkier items, they can be expedited if need be.

Installation Installation is easy too. Most, if not all roll-up style, soft bed covers install with no tools. They have easy-to-read, detailed step-by-step instructions that include photos and helpful tips on caring for your new cover. No friends? No worries. These soft tonneau covers can usually be installed piece-by-piece onto your bed without anyone’s assistance. There’s nothing bulky or unwieldy to hold onto. They really are quite simple to set up with most models installing in less than 30 minutes.

Security Let’s not forget about the protection factor here. The bed of your truck is for carrying cargo and other goodies and you don’t want your goods getting rained on, or worse, stolen. Roll-up tonneau covers offer convenience unparalleled by other covers. They can be rolled up, out of the way when loading cargo, and rolled back down when loading is done. Also, when you’ve got larger items to transport in the back of your truck, the convenience of being able to just “roll
