The Bakflip F1 tonneau cover is the newest addition to the Bakflip folding tonneau cover series. This tonneau cover is made with an FRP or Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer surface coated with a UV protected black finish. This provides better impact resistance as well as protection against harsh weather conditions. But did you also know that the Bakflip F1 has many other uses aside from providing protection for your cargo and truck bed? The Bakflip can hold up to 500 pounds of equally distributed weight so you can use it for many other purposes aside from those normally provided by other tonneau covers.
When folded down to the tailgate, Bakflip F1 tonneau covers can provide extra space for a lot of other things. For instance, you can mount your bicycle or an ATV on the tonneau cover, for as long as the weight does not exceed 500 pounds. Just secure with ropes so they don’t slip off your foldingtonneau cover. But after dismounting the items from your tonneau cover, it is important to remove any mud, dirt or grime before it dries up on your tonneau cover, making it difficult for you to clean it up the next time you wash it.
When the panels are partially folded, the Bakflip F1 folding tonneau cover can be used as scaffolding which could provide you some lift when you are cleaningup your pickup truck’s roof or when you’re painting hard to reach areas in your house. Aside from that, the Bakflip F1 can also be used as a bench where you can sit down while hanging out on your truck for a quick lunch, or provide comfortable extra sitting space when the cab is full. You can even fold up the tonneau cover to provide space for posting road signs and advertising messages.
You can also open the truck bed cover in increments to provide a snug and secure place to haul taller cargo such as refrigerators and cabinets. However, if you want to have full access to your truck bed, you can fold it up against the truck’s rear cab window to give more space to haul larger cargo. You won’t have to worry about the truck bed cover scratching the rear cab’s finish as it also comes with rubber stoppers which provide a barrier between the tonneau cover and the truck cab’s rear area. It also comes with patented locking arms which keeps the folded up tonneau cover in place, so you have full, unobstructed access to your truck bed.
