About Us
We’re longtime friends, builders, and outdoor lovers who set out to rethink how people sleep and travel on the road.
What began as a personal frustration became a clear mission:
🛠️ Design a foldable, lightweight platform that makes rooftop camping simple, fast, and flexible.
After months of sketching, testing, and refining, we’ve built a fully functional model — and we’re now getting ready to launch.
Whether you travel on weekends or live full-time on the road, we believe freedom should never feel complicated.
Plat4tent is our way of making that freedom real.

🚐 How it all began
I was driving the scenic road between Inverness and Edinburgh when a sudden crosswind ripped my rooftop tent right off the car.
I couldn’t save it — it was too damaged.
That tent had been with me for over 15 years, faithfully serving me through countless trips and adventures. Losing it felt like losing a companion.
For the rest of the journey, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Every car I passed seemed to be carrying a rooftop tent, like a quiet reminder of what I’d lost.
🌪️ Maybe it was a blessing in disguise
At first, I considered buying a new one. But little by little, something shifted.
I started reflecting on the downsides of my old setup:
🚫 Parking nightmares in cities with low ceilings
🚫 Awkward weight and wind resistance
🚫 The fuel I’d been wasting for years
🚫 The constant drag on flexibility and speed
Without the tent, my car felt agile again — light, fast, and free.
That’s when the idea sparked:
What if I could keep the freedom of rooftop camping — without the burden?
💡 A new kind of platform
What I envisioned was simple:
A lightweight, foldable platform — something you could throw in the trunk and forget until you needed it.
A system that transforms any car into a capable, comfortable camper without turning it into a tank.
I picked up the phone and called my two longtime travel buddies, David and Arnaud.
We’ve shared dozens of trips together, and I knew they’d get it.
When I told them about the concept — a compact platform that works with any pop-up tent — they were instantly on board.
That’s when the Plat4tent adventure began.
✏️ From sketches to testing
We started drawing. Prototyping. Debating every detail.
-Can it be stored easily?
-Can two people carry it?
-Can it be set up in under 5 minutes, with no tools?
-Will it support two people and all their gear?
Every decision was grounded in real travel experience
and the frustrations that only seasoned campers truly understand.
🌍 Plat4tent isn’t just a product — it’s a mindset
What began as a personal workaround turned into a mission:
To design a smarter, lighter, more flexible way to travel, sleep, and roam freely.
We didn’t reinvent the tent.
We reimagined the way we move through the world.
