A sheeting system for an open-topped goods container ( 11 ) of a vehicle ( 10 ) has a cover ( 15 ) including a generally rectangular main area ( 32 ) for covering the open top and a pair of generally triangular side flaps ( 20 ) to extend down over the opposed side walls of the container. Elastic cords ( 26 ) are arranged to pull each side flap ( 20 ) to a folded position where it overlies the main area ( 32 ). A pull-cord ( 40 ) is used to move each side flap to a deployed position overlying the side of the container and then the apex ( 23 ) of the flap is tied down to a fixed point to maintain the flap in that position. To stow the cover, the side flaps ( 20 ) are released to return to their folded positions whereafter the cover ( 15 ) is wound on to a roller ( 18 ) at one end of the container ( 11 ).
