Poles on mine front and back...you'll like 'em better than straps...not much bucks and can do 'em yourself...put screws in BOTH sides of plastic end pieces and THRU the pole whether there's a hole or not, drill one... :...yeah, I learned that the hard way...only a little bloodshed... ;D...
Mine came w/ top I had made...Boaters World or West should have it...ever heard of Overton's?...if you don't find it, let me know and I'll get it from them for ya... ...
