Abstract: A tarpaulin cover with a water-weighted tube around its perimeter is provided. A three-inch diameter tube is located around the perimeter of the invention just inside of a series of grommets. A fill nozzle that accepts a standard garden hose connection is provided on the perimeter. At the opposite side of the tarpaulin, a release nozzle is provided to aid in the rapid emptying of the invention. When filled with water, the invention is almost impossible to blow away in high winds. It is intended to eliminate the usage of rocks, logs and other materials that are commonly used to hold tarpaulins down.
