Slide Topper Sags

I finally get to use my slide topper for the first time it rained and it sags and puts a really nice puddle in the middle. did a search and besides putting a beach ball under the cover I could not really find what I was looking for.

Is there a way to "tighten" the fabric?

Thanks in advance.

Yup. Our topper sags in the middle, too, when it rains.

As for the beach ball, it didn't really work for us... Well, the beach ball did MOVE the location of the puddle, but didn't get rid of it.

We don't worry about it any more... until we start to bring in the slide. Then it's move the slide in a bit, stop & wait, move the slide again, stop & wait, until all the water is dumped.
