Abstract
An adjustable windproof table cover solves the problem of wind or air moving a table covering or cloth while placed on a table top. By using this product, no other physical matter such as weights, straps or clamps shall be needed to restrain the table covering or cloth from movement by wind or air. An adjustable rope or cord can be cinched or gathered to tighten the placement upon the table top.
