Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rhinohide Canopy?
The Rhinohide Canopy is a universal shade canopy system designed to fit the roll bar of tractors and zero turn mowers . Our canopy is designed to get you out of the sun and into the shade, not only for comfort but also for the protection from harmful UV rays.

What separates the Rhinohide from other canopies is its incredible strength, and that it can be mounted below the top of your roll bar. In addition to its toughness, the canopy shell is lightweight and removable. And every single part is Made in the USA.

Virtually Indestructible
True to its name, the Rhinohide Canopy is tough—virtually unbreakable even. Made from a very high strength and lightweight plastic called High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the canopy is capable of deflecting to a great extent when stressed. The combination of our material and shape create a canopy so tough, we haven’t had to replace a single one since founding.

Plastic Is Better Than Metal
Compared to a painted canopy, scratches are barely visible on a Rhinohide, as the plastic is black all the way through. Compared to canopies made from other type of plastic, like ABS, the Rhinohide isn’t prone to breaking or shattering. Compared to a metal canopy, the Rhinohide rarely dents and won’t rust when scratched. And it’s much, much lighter. And our dye is UV resistant, so your canopy will not fade over time.

Lightweight
The Rhinohide shell weighs just 13 lb, lightweight enough for anyone to handle. This is helpful for installation, as well as for removing the canopy for trailering or storage.

Removable
All models of the Rhinohide are removable, easy on and easy off. Quickly loosen two hand screws and slide the canopy off its risers.

Fits Under Garage Doors!
Unlike other canopies, you can choose to mount the Rhinohide below the top of the roll bar, preserving the height and clearance of your tractor if you have low garage doors or low limbs on your property.

Every single component of a Rhinohide Canopy is designed, fabricated, and packed in the USA.

We source American steel, American hardware, and American labor. Even the box we ship it in is in Made in America.

There isn’t anything wrong with a global economy. We just take pride in keeping our footprint small and in communities we know.

Can I paint it?
Our canopy is made from High Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) and simply does not hold paint well. The trade off is a shell thats many times tougher than Fiberglass, ABS plastic, or vinyl/canvas. Our black canopy is UV protected and will not fade. And when you scratch our canopy it own’t show, as the plastic is black all the way through.

Can I trailer it?
You should always remove your Rhinohide Canopy before trailering your tractor or mower. It only takes 30 seconds and keeps everyone safest.

It doesn’t matter if your tractor is from John Deere, Kubota, Kioti, Mahindra, Massey, LS, Yanmar, TYM, Bobcat, New Holland, Bad Boy, Summit or any other manufacturer!

We have hardware to fit 100% of roll bars out there. The standard hardware on our Universal Tractor Canopy fits 90% of tractor roll bars. To be sure you don’t need special hardware, it’s best to verify four things.

  • A. If your roll bar is made from tube steel wider than 2.5 inches, choose that option.
  • B. If your roll bar is made from tube steel deeper than 4 inches, choose that option.
  • C. If your roll bar is wider than 42 inches (outside-to-outside), choose that option.
  • If your roll bar angles forward greater than 15 degrees, shop our Canopy for Angled Roll Bars.

Install your canopy in about 45 minutes.

The easiest way to understand how to install your Rhinohide Canopy is by watching us install one first.

Even if your tractor or mower is different, the installation will be almost exactly the same.

We think the best position for our canopy is about 10″ above your head when seated. On tractors this often means mounting in front of and below the top of your roll bar. On zero turn mowers, this will always be above the roll bar.

Depending on the position of your seat and roll bar, as well as the shape of your roll bar, this lower position may not allow for much coverage behind your head. But it may provide more shade than mounting the canopy above your roll bar.

Since our founding, we’re happy to say we’ve never had to replace a canopy. Ever.

Still, we offer a Lifetime Warranty with every purchase that’s simple to understand—if your canopy ever fails for any fault of ours, we’ll replace the necessary parts at no cost to you.
