Abstract: Interfitted tubular supports are connected centrally above an enclosure such as a pool, above or below ground, or a greenhouse and are connected at their lower ends to a peripheral rail surrounding the enclosure. The supports are connected to the peripheral rail preferably by clamping a horizontal tubular member to the flat top wall of the rail or alternatively, by individually clamping a plurality of spaced blocks lying on the flat top wall of the rail. A flexible plastic cover is fitted over the tubular supports and is releasibly clamped to the vertical sidewall of the rail by peripherally spaced clamping or pinching members. In one embodiment, especially for larger enclosures, the tubular truss support members are employed and support members all are interconnected by tubular stabilizing members as well as with guy lines. Some of the embodiments have a tubular ridge member which terminates above the peripheral rail at a height high enough to allow entry by a standing child or an adult.
