How Do You Measure a Truck Bed for a Roll Up Cover?

When it comes to buying a roll up cover for your truck bed, it is important to make sure that you get the size right. The wrong size can cause the cover not to fit properly, and you may end up with an uneven look on the truck bed.

To ensure that you get the correct size, it is important to measure your truck bed correctly before making a purchase.

The first step in measuring your truck bed is to measure the length of the bed from one side of the tailgate to the other. It is important to include any protrusions such as wheel wells or flares when you are measuring. Once you have this measurement, make sure to record it so you have it handy when shopping for a roll-up cover.

The next step in measuring your truck bed is to measure the width from one side of the cab wall to the other. This measurement should include any flares or wheel wells as well. Take care when measuring across these protrusions so that you get an accurate measurement for your roll-up cover.

When buying a roll-up cover for your truck bed, it is also important to know if there are any additional items that might need to be taken into account when measuring. If there are any additional items such as toolboxes or ladders, they should be taken into account when taking measurements and make sure they are included in the total length and width measurements.

Conclusion

Measuring a truck bed for a roll up cover accurately is essential in order to get a perfect fit every time. Make sure that all protrusions such as wheel wells and flares are included in both length and width measurements and remember to take into account any additional items such as ladders or toolboxes which may be present in order to get an accurate measurement.
