Our Build Process
From the first conversation to handover, here’s how your WKND canopy or tray comes together and what to expect at each stage.
Our Build Process
Your Build, From First Conversation to Handover
Every WKND canopy starts with a conversation.
Your vehicle, the way you travel and what you need from your setup all influence the final design.
Some customers come to us knowing exactly what they want. Others need help working through the options. Either way, we'll guide you through the decisions, from your first enquiry to the finished build.
Here's what you can expect along the way.
01. Let's Talk About Your Setup
Understanding your vehicle and how you'll use it.
We start by getting to know your requirements.
We'll discuss your vehicle, how you travel, what you carry and the features that matter most to you.
This might include:
- Chassis-mount or tray and canopy options
- Storage and drawer configurations
- Fridge, kitchen and pantry layouts
- Electrical systems and accessories
- Touring equipment and optional upgrades
We'll share practical advice from our own touring experience, including what works well and what we'd recommend for your setup.
The goal is simple: a canopy designed around how you'll actually use it.
02. Secure Your Build & Finalise the Design
Turning your ideas into a confirmed build specification.
Once you're ready to proceed, your deposit secures your build slot and allows us to begin the detailed design process.
We'll work through the finer details of your configuration, including layout, dimensions, inclusions, accessories and finishes.
You'll receive your design and build specifications to review before fabrication begins.
This is your opportunity to check the details, ask questions and confirm you're happy with the proposed setup.
Nothing moves into fabrication until the final design and specifications have been approved.
Payment milestone: Your initial deposit secures your build slot and begins the design process. A second payment is requested once you've approved the final design and build specifications.
03. Your Canopy Goes Into Production
Built to your approved design.
With the design confirmed, your canopy moves into fabrication.
Your setup is manufactured to the agreed specifications, rather than selected from a range of standard, off-the-shelf configurations.
Depending on your build, this stage includes fabrication, powder coating, component preparation and assembly.
We'll coordinate the production process and keep you informed as your build progresses.
04. Shipping & Fitment Preparation
Getting everything ready for your vehicle.
Once your canopy is completed, we coordinate freight and prepare for its arrival.
We'll keep you updated as your build moves through shipping and work with our fitment partners to arrange the next steps.
Once everything is ready, we'll organise your vehicle's fitment appointment.
Payment milestone: Final payment is requested once your build is completed and ready for fitment scheduling.
05. Fitment & Handover
The finishing touch.
Your canopy is fitted to your vehicle through one of our trusted fitment partners.
We'll coordinate the appointment so you know where to take your vehicle and what to expect.
Once fitment is complete, your setup is ready for collection.
From the first conversation to the finished canopy, the aim is the same: a practical touring setup built around you and your vehicle.
