Claim 13:
14. A method for covering a surface (3) by a cover (10), using a device for covering as claimed in claim 1, wherein:
(a) the drum (2) is located at an upstream end of the surface to be covered, with a transverse edge of the cover being fixed to this upstream end of the surface and the remainder of the cover being wound around the drum,
(b) advancing the drum in a first direction over the surface to be covered along the rails (6) and thus unwinding from the drum the cover which is deployed on the surface portion upstream of the drum and, at the same time, guiding and holding the protruding element (12) of each longitudinal edge of the cover relative to the opening (14) of the corresponding rail (6) as the drum advances,
(c) introducing the protruding element into the space (14e) of the rail and thus locking the protruding element to the rail.
