Atlee,
Something I recommend from experience (1 whole year) and a suggestion from a friend of mine. I'm a seasonal and have a super-slide at about 14'. I built a PVC frame that slides under the topper. Essentially, it's in 4 sections of PVC, 1/2" thick. The very middle "stand" is actually 1" higher than the outside 2 and all 3 have a "T" fitting on the bottom to give a sort of foot that sits on the slide. Then they have a "T" at the top where the long lengths connect. On the ends, there are elbows to prevent tearing of the topper. They don't have a stand as they "float" and empty the rain accumulation.
It sounds a bit more difficult than it really is. I didn't glue anything so I can break it down quickly when needed. Works fantastic and we've had some monsoons on Cape Cod. Quite a few people around me are using mine as a guide to build their own.
Here's a bit of a sketch to go by. Hope it helps. Bit difficult to explain. Others use noodles, tubes etc. but this setup really works fantastic and you can still hose the underside down if need be without any interference.
Good luck. You'll notice a world of difference.
