Abstract
Disclosed are cover systems for covering product such as grain. An example cover system includes a cover having at least one perforated tunnel extending across at least a portion of the cover (e.g., with an end to or beyond an edge of the cover). The perforated tunnel can include a bottom membrane with perforations, a cap strip membrane attached to the top side of the bottom membrane, and an air permeable filler material between the bottom membrane and the cap strip membrane. The perforated tunnel can have an air inlet at its end for drawing in air to hold down the cover by suction.
