Boulder covering

Abstract

An easily interchangeable cover to be used with objects such as rocks, boulders, or other items. The cover allows for airflow between the cover and the object to provide a uniform shape of the cover regardless of the object's deformities and contours. The cover also has a securing means which helps to secure the cover to the object to prevent it from blowing or otherwise being removed from the object.
