Cross Section of Honey-comb Type Tricell Roof and Carpet Lining 

The construction is similar to aircraft and marine manufactured products that provides lightweight to strength ratio. Excellent heat insulator for sound heat and cold. Our canopy is unique in that it also affords extra strength for roof racks and top carrying capacity for canoes, bicycles, camping gear, sail boards, ski boxes, ski accessories, kayaks, hunting equipment, game, fishing gear, equestrian supplies, and even lumber

Make a mold of the plug whicj will be the opposite of the plug - This will be the mold for the canopy from then on.

The mold is painted with the finish colour of paint or GelCoat. Then the fiberglass chop is "Sprayed" on to the outer skin. This is the layer that gives it the strength.  Arrow Industries uses the correct mixture of Fiberglass and resin to provide optimum strength
 

Comes out of the mold and has to be trimmed to size

Interior carpet is added

Windows are cut out

Of to the paint booth for Factory specific colours to be applied

Back to the trim shop where the windows and serial number tag are added

The aluminium rails that are added provide extra strength to the bottom of the canopy.  Newer trucks let the box of the truck twist. Without the strength of aluminium reinforcement the canopy can crack in high stress situations.

NOTE:  The rails are net held on by screws - the screws simply tighten up the clamping effect of the outer and inner rail.  This effect is much stronger and accurate that glues or resins.

Finally the canopies wait in the yard for the delivery truck to deliver the canopy to the local retailer
