The Plastic cross piece on top of the pole is cheap. I used it once and it bent down on both ends. It stayed in that shape hours later after removal. I didn't over tighten the straps. If it was thicker it might not be as bad. You could use a wooden piece under it and screw the plastic piece to it. I think I'll go with a bow system next. I guess this is a case of going cheap instead of going for value. Attwood Deluxe Boat Cover Support System, UP TO 19' - Useless - Boat Covers - Boat Rain Water Accumulating Pro - Horrible'
