Aluminum Hard Tonneau Cover

So you’re going to buy a truck bed cover? Congrats! As you weed out the knock-offs and weigh the importance of a long-lasting solution, you’ll probably decide on an aluminum hard tonneau cover. If only that were the end of your search! Unfortunately, there’s so much more to consider. 

What’s the Big Deal? 

When you hear aluminum, you might think of soda cans, window frames, or airplane parts. In each of these scenarios, aluminum is lightweight and strong. However, there’s still a big difference between a can you can crush with your bare hands and an airplane that withstands -70 degree weather. 

Just like aluminum is used in a wide variety of ways, so too do aluminum hard tonneau covers vary.  Unfortunately, some aluminum covers are sure to let you down if their quality isn’t top notch. Pure aluminum, for example, might sound great, but this material lacks a great deal of strength, focusing instead on malleability. 

In terms of truck bed covers, you’ll most likely find aluminum alloys. These are made by melding aluminum with copper, manganese, and more. The most common types of aluminum alloys used in the automobile industry are magnesium and silicon. However, an alloy that adds zinc to the mix is going to be even stronger, and therefore is what the aerospace industry relies on.

Then there’s the fact that aluminum is a recyclable material, making it a much more responsible purchase than its counterparts. When your truck days are over, years and years from now, the aluminum in your hard tonneau cover will still stand strong, ready to be recycled again and again, poised for the next fight. 

That’s a truck bed cover you can rely on. That’s Renegade.
