Method for covering an item with a framed cover

A method of assembling a framed cover suitable for cover an item comprising the steps of

• identifying an item to be cover;
• measuring the maximum planar dimensions of the item to be covered, wherein the maximum planar dimensions of the item to be covered are parallel to the surface upon with the item rests;
• selecting a plurality of members, at least one connector, and at least one hinge, wherein, when configured to enclose a planar area, the plurality of members, at least one connector, and at least one hinge have a perimeter and planar area that allow the maximum planar dimensions of the item to be covered to pass through;
• assembling a tubular frame from the plurality of members, at least one connector, and at least one hinge, by connecting at least two members with each connector and by connecting at least two members with each hinge, wherein, when assembled, the tubular frame has a perimeter enclosing a planar area that will allow the maximum planar dimensions of the item to be covered to pass through;
• connecting a flexible cover to the tubular frame, wherein the flexible cover has a continuous exterior surface and an opening that is at least as large as the perimeter of the tubular frame.
