It is often easier to unroll this type than it is to stretch the soft leather on a cold winter day. If you arrive at your destination, only to discover that you will need the cover, just unroll it and you are all set.

There are also covers that are made of fiberglass that are essentially permanent lids on the box of your truck. These lift up on hydraulic arms, but cannot be folded or rolled.
