A method for manipulating and securing a tarpaulin across an aperture defining opposed aperture first and second ends, the tarpaulin being secured at one end thereof adjacent the aperture first end and secured to a rod at the other end thereof. With the tarpaulin at least partially rolled around a rod, the tarpaulin is unrolled from the rod and substantially simultaneously the rod is moved across the aperture toward the aperture second end so that the tarpaulin is extended across the aperture as the tarpaulin in unrolled from the rod. After the rod has been moved substantially adjacent to the aperture second end, the rod is inserted in the recess of a hook provided adjacent the aperture second end so as to prevent movements of the rod toward the aperture first end beyond a predetermined location. After inserting the rod in the recess, the tarpaulin is rolled around the rod to move the rod to the predetermined location and create a tension in the tarpaulin to secure the tarpaulin to the hook. |
