Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-use cover. More particularly, the present invention relates to a covering system that is easy to deploy and does not require tie downs. The covering system uses an expandable hose attached to a covering material. To deploy the cover over an object to be protected, the expandable hose is filled with a filling material such as air or water, and once the cover is over the entire object to be protected, the filling material is removed from the hose, causing the cover to contract snugly over the object to be protected. To remove the cover, the hose is once again filled with filling material until it can be removed from the object. For efficient storage of the cover, the filling material can be completely removed from the hose.
