We have attached one of our Retractable Slip Covers to a flat bed trailer and exposed it to winds speeds in excess of 70mph for thousands of miles and countless hours without any failures. Please watch the video in our link below to see the kind of stress we exposed to our dock canopies.

What surface can your SlipSki cover be mounted on?
The modular design of a SlipSki dock canopy will mount to a variety of surfaces. The use of our cantilever design means that our sliding covers can function on a variety of surfaces. We recommend the surface is reasonably flat for best operation and of coarse the smoother the surface the easier it will be to operate.
Although you can mount it to a variety of surfaces it is recommend that concrete or a flat wood dock is used for optimal operation of slide and optimal wind resistance.
Can your SlipSki covers be assembled and installed by myself?
Ez installation and removal of cover material. While it is possible to install one by yourself it would be highly recommended to have at least one other person to assist you. Take a look at our Do It Yourself Videos.
