# Spray-on bed liners for North Vancouver trucks ProVanWorks sprays bed liners onto pickup trucks and work vans from North Vancouver and West Vancouver at our shop in Langley, across the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and east on Highway 1. A spray-on liner bonds to the bed and seals the metal against scratches, rain and the road salt used on the North Shore's upper slopes. Most trucks are at the shop for 1 to 2 days. ## How far is the ProVanWorks shop from North Vancouver? Every trip from the North Shore to Langley crosses Burrard Inlet. From North Vancouver the usual route is over the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and east on Highway 1 through Burnaby. West Vancouver drivers can also take the Lions Gate Bridge through downtown Vancouver, though the Ironworkers is more direct for most. The bridges are where traffic backs up, so plan to drop the truck off and collect it midday. A liner takes 1 to 2 days. ## Why do North Vancouver trucks need a bed liner? North Shore pickups carry a lot of gear that is hard on a bed. Mountain bikes come back from Mount Fromme and Mount Seymour caked in mud and get thrown in the bed with the pedals and bars scraping the paint. In winter the same trucks carry skis and snowboards up to Grouse, Seymour and Cypress. Landscaping and renovation crews on the steep lots of Lynn Valley, Edgemont and the British Properties haul rock, soil, lumber and tools, often loaded by hand straight over the side. The weather finishes what the loads start. The upper neighbourhoods get snow, so the hills are salted and sanded, and that grit and brine end up in the bed. Down at the waterfront in Lower Lonsdale and Ambleside, the North Shore gets heavy rain for months, and trucks parked near the inlet also take salt air. A scratched bed stays wet through most of the year here. A [spray-on bed liner](/spray-on-bed-liners/) seals the metal before rust can start, and the textured surface keeps bikes and gear from sliding around as much on the steep streets. ## Do North Vancouver trades vans need a floor liner? Many do. ProVanWorks sprays [floor liners for cargo and work vans](/spray-on-bed-liners/work-vans/), covering the floor, lower walls and wheel wells. On the North Shore, a trades van often parks at the curb below a steep driveway, and tools and materials go in and out by hand all day, with wet boots and sand from the road coming in each time. The liner takes that wear instead of the factory floor. ## How much does a bed liner cost for a North Vancouver truck? ProVanWorks quotes each bed liner by email, because the price depends on the size of the bed and its condition. Email info@provanworks.com with the year, make and model, the bed length and a few photos of the bed. If the truck has spent winters on the upper slopes, include photos of the bed corners and the inside of the tailgate, where salty slush tends to collect. ## Frequently asked questions ### Will a bed liner stop bikes sliding around on North Shore hills? It helps. A spray-on liner has a textured surface, so bikes, coolers and gear slide less than they do on bare paint or a smooth plastic drop-in liner. You still need to strap loads down on steep streets. ### Can I get other work done at the Langley shop on the same trip? Yes. The same shop installs [roof fans and A/C in North Vancouver vans](/van-fan-and-ac-installation/north-vancouver/), designs and installs [van wraps](/van-wraps/), and builds [mobile grooming vans for the North Shore](/mobile-grooming-vans/north-vancouver/).
