Today's aftermarket roof rack systems are incredible—but they're also a significant investment. Once you've purchased a quality rack, your options for actually spending time on top of your vehicle become surprisingly limited.
Rooftop Tents
Rooftop tents are an amazing solution for many people, but they also require a significant investment and a certain level of commitment. They add weight, take up space, and aren't always practical for every trip.
Need to haul kayaks, bikes, or other gear? Hopefully your rooftop tent includes additional crossbars.
Roof Rack Panels
Many people install roof rack panels to create a solid surface for mounting gear. They're excellent for organization, storage, and maximizing roof space.
But they aren't designed for relaxing, enjoying the view, or simply spending time on your roof. And depending on your rack, they may not even be available.
That got us thinking...
Is There Another Way?
We posed this question to the Reddit community.
One of the most common suggestions?
Build your own platform out of plywood.
Another recommendation?
Throw an inflatable mattress on top.
Yikes.
It made us realize something.
There has to be a better way.
That simple thought is what started Horizon.
