Rooftop Work: A New and Noteworthy Work Style

■ What is Rooftop Work?

With remote work becoming the norm, we have more freedom to choose where we work.
However, working in the same old places like home or a cafe can quickly become boring.
That's where "rooftop work" comes in.
You can set up your workspace anywhere with a roof tent on top of your car.
This model plan introduces a 3-day rooftop work trip utilizing the FELDON SHELTER Hawk's Nest.

■ Recommended for these people!

  • Those who want to add new excitement to remote work
  • Those who want to balance work and vacation in nature
  • Those who like car camping and camping but want to do it more easily
  • Those who want to try something new
  • Those interested in FELDON SHELTER or roof tents

■ Rooftop work is easy to start

You might think working on a rooftop sounds difficult, but it's actually very simple.
The Hawk's Nest from FELDON SHELTER can be set up in just 10 seconds.
Just park your car, deploy the tent, and lower the ladder, and your private office is ready.

Furthermore, the Hawk's Nest is designed to only take up the space of the vehicle, so you can use it confidently in parking lots or campsites without bothering other users.
And its slim design means you don't have to worry about height even when driving in the city.
It's easy to use for daily commutes and is recommended for anyone who wants to "try something new."
