Abstract: The present invention concerns apparatus and methods for covering and uncovering a desired object. Particular embodiments include a covering system comprising: a cover operably connected to a plurality of translational members translationally positioned along a track suspended above the cover, the track being operably attached to two or more hangers, each of the two or more hangers having a vertically extending portion and an outwardly extending portion, the track being operably attached to the outwardly extending portion and suspended below the outwardly extending portion of the hanger; and, a non-rotational track support configured for releasable connection to the track and extending from below the track.
