Hard Shell Roof Top Tents
Alongside the Play.do! inflatable line, the company's B2B catalogue lists hard shell roof top tents in two shell materials. The aluminium models are listed at US$589–680 per piece with a minimum order of two pieces; the Light Weight model is listed as an automatic hard shell, while the Rugged model's listing states no opening mechanism. The fiberglass model — listed under the model code CARTT01-3 with the Play.do! trademark — is the fully documented one: a gas-strut automatic tent with published dimensions, fabrics and load ratings, set out on the fiberglass hard shell page. Buyers who want the lightest possible roof should compare this line honestly against the inflatable range: the fiberglass model is listed at 69 kg net, where the heaviest published inflatable weight is 28.55 kg.

Who hard shell still suits
A hard shell earns its weight when the tent lives on the roof permanently, when it must shrug off branches and car washes, and when a fleet wants a one-motion gas-strut opening with no pump at all. The fiberglass model's listed body fabric — 280 g polyester-cotton canvas, PU coated, with a waterproof index of 2000–3000 mm — is a conventional, well-understood specification, and its aluminium telescopic ladder is rated to 150 kg. What a hard shell cannot do is come off the roof into a cupboard, or fly as checked luggage to a remote pitch; that is the inflatable line's territory, and the hard shell buying guide and the head-to-head comparison lay both cases out on listed figures.
Ordering notes
Both hard shell listings carry a minimum order of two pieces. Prices above are the listed per-piece bands on the company's B2B listings; confirm the current price, the shell material and the full specification for your chosen model in writing before payment.
