One can purchase tonneau covers to cover differently. The least expensive cover is the roll-up canvas tonneau cover. Also there are the retractable tonneau cover, the fiberglass tonneau cover, the folding tonneau cover style and aluminum and "drop down" truck bed cover styles.

A tonneau cover makes for a great cover for the bed of a pickup truck. It is mostly used to keep your stuff out of the elements and it prevents thieves from taking luggage, tools or groceries or whatever is in the bed of your pickup.

Retractable Tonneau Covers: Give the flexibility of having a hard tonneau cover with the options of being able to haul larger items without removing the cover from the bed. You sacrifice some space in the front of the bed for the storage canister and it may leak a little. They are a good all around value.

Fiberglass Tonneau Covers are heavy but are completely rainproof. In order to transport large objects, you would have to remove the cover and that would require some effort. You can expect the cover to weigh 150 pounds and they are usually painted to go with the color of the truck.

Folding Tonneau Covers are a good deal compared to expensive hard and retractable covers. They could leak a little, but they are durable and are more affordable that covers made of fiberglass.

Tonneau covers made of aluminum are similar to retractable as they give you the ability of hauling large objects without removing it. With aluminum tonneau covers, you have to sacrifice some of your space for the storage container at the front of the bed.

Retractor Type "Drop Down" Truck Bed Covers: These are new to the scene of bed covers. They allow access to the truck bed without removing the aluminum cover. The retractor can be locked down every 12 inches if needed. - 21393
