Fiberglass Hard Shell Roof Top Tent
The fiberglass model in the hard shell line — listed under model code CARTT01-3 and carrying the Play.do! trademark — is the most completely documented conventional tent in this catalogue. It is an automatic hard shell: gas struts lift the fiberglass composite shell open, the tent body is a 280 g polyester-cotton canvas with a PU coating and a listed waterproof index of 2000–3000 mm, and the maximum load rating is published at 300 kg. For buyers whose procurement process runs on complete specification tables, this is the hard shell page to file.

Reading the specification like a buyer
Three figures decide whether this tent fits your programme. The load pair comes first: a 300 kg maximum load rating against a 69 kg net weight means the tent itself consumes a large share of a typical vehicle's dynamic roof rating before anyone climbs in — run the numbers with our roof load capacity guide for your exact vehicle. Second, the folded height: at 26 cm the closed shell is the low-profile option next to any soft shell stack, which matters for garage clearance and fuel. Third, the pack size — 222 × 130 × 33 cm at 80 kg gross — is a two-person, freight-forwarder lift, not a parcel; plan inbound logistics accordingly.
The gas-strut automatic opening is this model's real product: no pump, no poles, one motion from closed shell to pitched tent — the selling point wherever pitch time is labour cost. The listing does not state the shell's hinge geometry; if a book-style clamshell opening is what your programme needs, confirm the geometry in the enquiry. The trade is everything the inflatable line was invented to avoid: permanent roof occupation and shell weight. Our hard shell guide compares this model against the aluminium listings in the same line.
Freight and handling, planned early
One consequence of a fully published pack size is that freight can be planned before the order, not after it: at 222 × 130 × 33 cm and 80 kg gross per unit, the CARTT01-3 ships as oversize freight, and a distributor ordering in volume can model container loading from the published figure instead of estimating from a photograph. Handles and lifting are a two-person job at that weight; warehouses should plan racking rather than floor stacking for the cartons, and retailers should plan the customer conversation — this tent is delivered, not carried out of the store. None of this is a criticism of the model; it is the ordinary logistics of a rigid shell, stated here because the published figures allow it to be stated precisely.
Ordering notes
Hard shell listings in this catalogue carry a minimum order quantity of two pieces. Before you pay, confirm the current specification — in particular shell material, fabric and load rating — the price for your quantity and the lead time, in writing. Certificates are available upon request for specific models; ask during the enquiry stage rather than assuming a document set.
- How does the fiberglass shell open?
- By gas struts — the listed type is "automatic", meaning the shell lifts on struts rather than being cranked or unfolded by hand.
- How many does it sleep?
- 2–3 people, on a 210 × 125 cm footprint, with a 300 kg maximum load rating.
- How heavy is it, honestly?
- 69 kg net, 80 kg gross packed. That is the figure to check against your vehicle's roof rating.
