Top strength?

Odd question but how much weight do these tops support? I have a single wall but also a double wall stored.

Can someone stand up there? A couple of sunbathing ladies?

Really though what kind of load is safe?

Re: Top strength?

I think you need to post the pics of the sun bathing ladies in order for us to make a more accurate and precise judgement.

Re: Top strength?

That would be an undertaking as we got 16" of snow in the last two days! But I agree we are going to need models.
