ABSTRACT:
An open net cover extendable over the deck of a swimming and diving raft to discourage and prevent waterfowl from alighting on the raft and befouling the deck. The net is temporarily attachable about the periphery of the raft and has an open multi-polygonal pattern that permits a swimmer to walk about the raft and thereby easily install or release the net. No attachment fittings on the raft are required. The net is constructed of elastic and non-elastic lines with slip knots at selected locations about the periphery of the net. The slip knots permit the distance of the net from the raft periphery to be adjusted as well as the attachment of the net at the corners of the raft. A central support raises the net cover above the deck of the raft an amount sufficient to discourage waterfowl from roosting. The central support also serves as a container for the storage of the net cover when not in use. The net cover is attached to the container in a manner that allows the net cover to be easily drawn into the container.
