Custom Tonneau Covers, Made to Fit Your Ute in Brisbane

Cut to your exact ute tub or trailer No matter the make and Model

You can get a custom tonneau cover made in Brisbane, cut to your exact ute tub or trailer. We make them here at LJ Covers in Redland Bay, in canvas or PVC, measured to your vehicle so it actually fits. No generic, off-the-shelf lid that half sits on your tub and flaps in the wind.
Because we manufacture on site, we can match the shape of your tub, work around your sports bars, roll bar, or ladder rack, and pick the fabric that suits how you actually use the ute.

A tradie loading in and out ten times a day needs something different to a weekend camping setup, and the cover should reflect that. If you’d rather talk it through than read, call Jason or Leah on 0411 781 221.
We’ll ask a few questions and tell you straight whether canvas or PVC is the better fit.

Why custom instead of off-the-shelf

A custom tonneau cover fits the actual shape of your tub, so it seals properly, keeps your gear dry, and holds up through the Queensland sun instead of sagging and letting water pool. Off-the-shelf covers are built to a standard size for a standard tub. The trouble starts once you add drop-in liners, sports bars, a roll bar, or a ladder rack, and “standard” stops fitting.

We see it often. Someone buys a cover online, it turns up, and it either doesn’t reach the corners or it’s so loose it flogs itself apart on the highway inside a year. When we make one, we measure your ute as it sits right now, tow bar clutter included, and cut the cover to suit.

• Proper fit: Cut to your tub shape so water runs off instead of pooling in the middle
• Works around your setup: Fitted around sports bars, roll bars, ladder racks, and liners, not fighting them
• Built for the sun: Fabric options that hold up to QLD UV and heat far longer than a thin off-the-shelf skin
• Repairable: Because we made it, we can re-stitch, patch, or alter it later instead of you binning the whole thing

If your ute already has an aluminium hard lid and you just want it re-covered or repaired, we can look at that too.

Canvas or PVC

The short version: canvas breathes and handles rough tradie use, while PVC is fully waterproof and wipes clean. The right pick depends on what you’re carting and where you park. Both are made to measure, and both stand up to Brisbane weather.

• Canvas: Tough, breathable, and built for tools, timber, and gear going in and out all day. Less condensation builds up underneath, which matters if you’re throwing in damp gear. Easy for us to repair when it eventually takes a knock. Usual pick for builders, landscapers, plumbers, and anyone using the ute hard through the week
• PVC: Fully waterproof and wipe-clean. Water beads off, mud hoses off, and it doesn’t hold onto smells the way a well-used canvas can. A strong option for a trailer that lives outside or anything that has to stay bone dry. It doesn’t breathe like canvas, so for enclosed damp loads we’ll talk through that trade-off first

Not sure which one suits you? Tell us what goes in the tub, where the ute sleeps at night, and how often you’re on and off the cover. We’ll steer you to canvas or PVC from there.

How we measure and fit

We take the measurements off your actual vehicle, so the cover matches your tub shape, mounting points, and any bars or racks, then we manufacture and fit it. If the measurements are a guess, the whole point of a made-to-measure cover falls apart, so we’re fussy about this part.

• We measure the ute or trailer: Real dimensions off your tub, including shape, depth, and anything already fitted
• We pick the fabric and fixings with you: Canvas or PVC, plus a fastening system that suits how often you’re on and off the cover
• We manufacture it here in Redland Bay: Cut and made in our workshop, not ordered in and hoped for
• We fit and check it: Sits tight, seals where it should, and clears your bars and racks cleanly

If you’re a fair way from Redland Bay, call before you drive over. We’ll sort out the best way to get accurate measurements so you’re not making the trip twice.
