ABSTRACT:
A device and method of covering piles and the like includes a plastic cover or sheet which is wrapped around the pile for protecting the pile against rot, weather and wear. The plastic sheet ends overlap as they wrap around the pile. The ends are sealed and secured by a heating element extending between the overlapped ends of the sheet and which forms a fused plastic seam between the overlapped ends as the sheet is held tightly about the pile. A strap and bar which presses over the heating element are provided for temporarily cinching the plastic sheet tightly about the pile and holding it while the heat fusing occurs.
