tarpaulin

Rasseem’s birds wobbled in their cages under their tarpaulin, unable to muster a sound.

British officials put out the word that the huge, strangely shaped objects, kept under wraps beneath tarpaulins, were special water carriers—mobile tanks.

The structure has since been secured against the façade of the cabaret and covered up by green tarpaulin for safety.

Others are improvised; empty shophouses in the main market, partitioned inside with plywood and plastic tarpaulins to make rooms just big enough for a family to lie down.

Encampments, tents, tarpaulins, people in tatters staggering in the street.
