Trailer Tarp Shrinking?

Hey Crew.
Anybody ever have their canvas cover shrink or get too tight?
My original canvas cover on the M101 seems to be shrinking.
It's pulling the top bows inward and it just looks funky. (does anybody really use that word anymore)
Any tips on how to stretch her back out? (it's always stored inside)

It's the weather, Tim-I noticed my cab top passenger side brackets have pulled out of their slots due to shrinkage, sitting in my unheated garage. Getting it back out in the sun should loosen it up so you can realign it.

Thank You Gary.
Makes sense, the weather here has been crazy.
Summer like one day and then snow the next.
Heading back out on the road tomorrow but I'll put her outside next week for a while!
A warm sunny summer day!
