Okay - that makes sense to me. So instead of the weight being primarily on the 4 corners, this sort of spreads it out more to the entire bottom frame. Would it have distributed the weight better/worse/same if you had placed the floaters nearer the center of the horizontal span?
Apologies - I'm just a dumb lawyer, and know nothing about forces and such.
