ABSTRACT:
A portable barge cover protects cargo in the hold of a barge from contaminants such as water, snow, dust, bird droppings and the like. The portable barge cover provides a removable and storable covering system that is readily assembled by three or four barge workers. Several overlapping flexible sheets are placed over spaced apart arched members which span from one side of a hold to the opposite side of the hold. The flexible sheets are secured by several straps that cross over the flexible sheets trapping the sheet between the strap and the arched member.
