Weather protection systems and methods of using them

Abstract

Disclosed herein are weather protection systems that include: long side wall tarps, where the long side wall tarps are configured to cover a long side wall of a building; roof tarps, where the roof tarps are configured to cover a top of a building; short side wall tarps, where the short side wall tarps are configured to cover a short side wall of a building; extension tarps, where the extension tarps are attached to at least one short side wall tarp along its length; strap attachment members, where the strap attachment members include loops, and where the loops are disposed upon the tarps; and straps, where the straps are inserted into at least one loop. In some embodiments, the weather protection systems further include bladders, which can be filled with water and positioned around the perimeter of the building.

         2 . The weather protection system of  claim 1 , wherein the weather protection system comprises four long side wall tarps. 
     
     
         3 . The weather protection system of  claim 1 , wherein the weather protection system comprises four roof tarps. 
     
     
         4 . The weather protection system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more short side wall tarps comprises an irregular pentagonal shaped tarp. 
     
     
         5 . The weather protection system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more short side wall tarps comprises a triangular shaped tarp. 
     
     
         6 . The weather protection system of  claim 1 , wherein the tarps comprise at least two layers of material. 
     
     
         7 . A weather protection system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 one or more bladders, wherein the bladders comprise one or more tubes and one or more cap members, and wherein the bladders are configured to be positioned around the perimeter of the building. 
 
     
     
         8 . The weather protection system of  claim 4 , wherein weather protection system comprises four irregular pentagonal shaped tarps. 
     
     
         9 . The weather protection system of  claim 5 , wherein weather protection system comprises four triangular shaped tarps. 
     
     
         10 . A method of using a weather protection system comprising:
 at least partially covering a building with weather protection system, wherein the weather protection system comprises:
 one or more long side wall tarps, wherein the one or more long side wall tarps are configured to cover a long side wall of a building, and wherein the one or more long side wall tarps are rectangular shaped tarps; 
 one or more roof tarps, wherein one or more roof tarps are configured to cover a top of a building, and wherein the one or more roof tarps are rectangular shaped tarps; 
 one or more short side wall tarps, wherein the one or more short side wall tarps are configured to cover a short side wall of a building; 
 one or more extension tarps, wherein the one or more extension tarps are attached to at least one of the one or more short side wall tarps along a length of the short side wall tarps; 
 one or more straps; 
 one or more strap attachment members, wherein the one or more strap attachment members comprise one or more loops, and wherein the one or more loops are disposed upon the long side wall tarps, roof tarps, short side wall tarps, and extension tarps; and 
   one or more straps, wherein the at least one strap is inserted into at least one loop.   
     
     
         11 . The method of using a weather protection system of  claim 10 , wherein the weather protection system comprises four long side wall tarps. 
     
     
         12 . The method of using a weather protection system of  claim 10 , wherein the weather protection system comprises four roof tarps. 
     
     
         13 . The method of using a weather protection system of  claim 10 , wherein at least one of the one or more short side wall tarps comprises an irregular pentagonal shaped tarp. 
     
     
         14 . The method of using a weather protection system of  claim 10 , wherein at least one of the one or more short side wall tarps comprises a triangular shaped tarp. 
     
     
         15 . The method of using a weather protection system of  claim 10 , wherein the tarps comprise at least two layers of material. 
     
     
         16 . The method of using a weather protection system of  claim 10 , wherein the weather protection system further comprising:
 one or more bladders, wherein the bladders comprise one or more tubes and one or more cap members, and wherein the bladders are configured to be positioned around the perimeter of the building.
