Patent ID: 8186400

Claim:
A cover for a module of fibrous material, consisting of: a top member; a first side wall member defining a first gap approximately at a midpoint of the first side wall member; a second side wall member defining a second gap approximately at a midpoint of the second side wall member; first and second end wall members; a channel extending around the cover lengthwise along a bottom edge of the first end wall member, a bottom edge of the first side wall member, a bottom edge of the second end wall member, and a bottom edge of the second side wall member, said channel being interrupted by said first gap and said second gap, a first support strap at an approximately midpoint of the first side wall member at a spaced distance beneath the top member and within the first gap; a second support strap at an approximately midpoint of the second side wall member at a spaced distance beneath the top member and within the second gap; a securing strap having first and second ends and running through the channel, said securing strap supported by the first and second support straps as it passes through the first and second gaps, wherein each of the first and second support straps provide no more than one point of contact between the securing strap and the first and second support straps on respective sides of the module, thereby optimizing relocation of forces on the cover to enhance the cover's ability to withstand peak wind conditions; and a fastening mechanism securing the first and second ends of the securing strap.
