Simple. Where else can you get a retractable, ball bearing, solid aluminum, powder coated, key lockable truck bed cover that looks this good for only $599 on a short bed? Vinyl tarps are $400 or more and they aren’t even secure. One piece hard lids are heavy, expensive and severely restrict hauling larger cargo. Other retractable designs use plastic or vinyl and have inflated prices due to dealer margins.

Review our features and photos; you'll see the choice is clear.

Peragon is located in Northern Minnesota. Our cover was engineered and tested in the area's bitter cold, so it performs very well even in ice and snow.

We have sold tens of thousands of truck bed covers across every state, Canada, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Europe. From sun to snow our design spans the globe.

It's already been ten years and we don't know where the time went. After a decade we're still growing strong. We've been a proud member of the Better Business Bureau since 2002. You can trust that you're doing business with a reliable company with a solid reputation.

Many of our customers come to us through word-of-mouth from other Peragon tonneau cover owners. We think that says a lot about our product and our company.

We use 5052-H32 tempered aluminum - no vinyl, plastic or foam. The aluminum is 12 gauge, or a little less than 1/8" thick. The panels have an integral aluminum rib for a finished panel height of 3/4".

The aluminum panels then have a satin black powder coat baked on at over 400 degrees for a tough-as-nails finish.

Our solid aluminum design offers robust protection for your cargo. It is engineered to support evenly distributed weight such as snow. However, it is not designed to walk on or to carelessly throw heavy objects on. Think of our cover just like you would the hood of your truck. The hood is rigid and strong, but you wouldn't walk on it.

Some companies claim that you can walk on their cover. We think that is silly at best and dishonest at worst.

We recommend not exceeding a concentrated weight load of 30-50 pounds. Our solid aluminum design offers robust protection for your cargo.

Our 12 gauge 5052-H32 tempered aluminum is more dent resistant than your truck. For example, a hail storm would do serious damage to the rest of your truck before the cover would be a concern.

The aluminum panels are tough enough to handle the normal bumps and bruises that come with the life of a truck.

This is one of the great features of the Peragon design. Each panel can be replaced by itself at minimal cost. So, if you drop a concrete block on a panel, your wallet doesn't get crushed at the same time!

Think about that with the one-piece retractable designs made from plastic or vinyl glued over aluminum. Not only are they more easily damaged to start with, if they do get damaged you have to replace the entire unit.

Only 35 pounds on most trucks. One person can quick-release the cover. With aluminum, you get a lot of strength without much weight.

When retracted, the Peragon cover is the most compact retractable design for maximum cargo space. On a short bed truck the cover comes out from the front of the bed about 6" and hangs down into the bed about 12".

It still leaves plenty of clearance to the floor of the bed to slide long items like a piece of plywood all the way to the front. The panels require some extra clearance to fold and unfold.

Watch the video clip for an overview of the operation.

The bed cover ships in two packages. One contains the guide rails; the other contains the folded bed cover and all hardware.

The guide rail package is approximately 82” x 5” x 4” and weighs approximately 15 pounds. The folded bed cover package is approximately 60” x 18” x 12” and weighs approximately 55 pounds.

The Peragon cover uses sealed ball bearing rollers for impressively smooth operation in all seasons. In winter conditions, other retractable tonneau covers can experience real problems. However, the Peragon cover is made in Northern Minnesota and engineered for the worst winter can offer.

Peragon uses a retractable panel system that folds up similar to an accordion into a compact position down into the front of the truck bed. To see the cover in action, please watch our video or visit our retractable feature page.

Yes. We chose to leave the tailgate independent for enhanced convenience. Covers that lock to the tailgate can be more hassle than they are worth. The hardware they attach to the tailgate creates a problem when sliding cargo in or out of your bed.

Many trucks already have locking tailgates and we offer the Pop & Lock tailgate lock for trucks that don't. Click here to select your truck, see if a Pop & Lock is an option and view a photo.

Although rare, there are some models of trucks that we do not offer a cover for. It is possible that we may offer a fit for those trucks in the future. When a model becomes available, our website will be updated immediately to save you the time of inquiring.

We offer a satin black powder coat finish that is baked on for durability. As Henry Ford said, "You can have any color you want as long as it is black".

The fact is, black looks sharp on any truck. The black powder coat is satin - not high gloss - to minimize glare. The satin finish hides wear and tear well. If you must have a custom color, your local body shop can paint the cover to match your truck.

Yes. Each panel is completely isolated from the next with a rubber seal that prevents any metal-to-metal contact. We dislike rattles as much as you do.

As with all retractable truck bed covers, you will get water seepage along the sides and, of course, around your tailgate. If the cover sits for an extended period in a steady rain, you're going to notice leakage. However, the aluminum panels are tightly sealed against each other to prevent water leakage between the panels.

Retractable covers offer unmatched flexibility for hauling and security, but they are not waterproof. They require some common sense when packing, putting items like tools or electronics into totes for extra protection. That's the straight answer, and don't believe a company that tells you otherwise.

Yes. The key lock that comes standard on each cover provides robust security with a steel deadbolt system. However, the cover only provides a deterrent to theft, it does not prevent it.

We pride ourselves on having service second to none and our service doesn't end after the cover is installed. The Peragon Bed Cover is covered by a one year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

While the chances of you experiencing any problems with your cover are slim, we work quickly to resolve anything that doesn't live up to our warranty.

Step-by-step instructions with photographs walk you through the process. The only tools needed for no-drill models are a screwdriver and two 7/16" & 1/2" wrenches. We're just a toll-free call away if you have questions. A "real world" estimate of install time is 2-3 hours. Unlike covers that claim to take an hour or less, our estimate includes unpacking, sorting the parts and reviewing the instructions. There are three basic steps to installing the cover:

1. Assemble hardware to our guide rails to create the frame
2. Attach the frame to the truck using the included mounting brackets - most trucks require no drilling
3. Slide the cover in and quick connect! There are a few basic adjustments for smooth operation and you're done.

The cover is shipped complete including all hardware needed for installation. The tools you will need for installation are:

• Tape Measure
• Philips Screwdriver
• (1) 5/16” Wrench
• (1) 3/8” Wrench
• (2) 7/16" Wrenches
• (2) 1/2" Wrenches
• (1) 7/8” Wrench (or adjustable/crescent wrench)
• Drill and 1/8" or 1/4" bit (if your model requires drilling)

Spray-in liners are fully compatible, even sprayed over-the-rail. The BedRug is fully compatible. Plastic drop-in liners will work with minor modification if they are under-the-rail. If the plastic liner wraps over the front of the bed or over the tailgate, that's fine. Over-the-rail plastic liners that wrap over the sides of the truck bed may not be compatible or may require extensive modification.

No problem. Factory molded plastic caps like Ford and Toyota use, as well as most plastic or metal aftermarket caps, are fine.

Since most of our covers mount to holes on the side of the stake pockets, the bed rail caps must have cutouts so you can put a wrench into the stake pocket while tightening our brackets. After installation, our cover leaves the top of the stake pockets fully open so you can mount other accessories if desired.

The Peragon bed cover will work with most fifth-wheel hitches if the highest point of the hitch is an inch or more below the top of the truck bed.

The Peragon bed cover is not compatible with tool boxes due to the variety of tool boxes and truck beds. We do not offer custom fits for trucks with toolboxes.

Peragon is not able to offer custom fits for older or modified truck beds.
