A debris containment system includes channel units that are configured to attach to perimeter structural members of the building (e.g., vertical columns and/or horizontal beams) and extend outward from the perimeter of the building. Channel units can be produced in any length or lengths needed for a given application. These channel units are used to lift and support barrier members (e.g., nets, tarps, canvas/fabric, or other barrier members) to create barriers along the perimeter of the building. Importantly, these channel units are generally attached directly or indirectly (e.g., via temporary vertical members) to structures that will remain on the building (e.g., structural columns and beams of the building) as opposed to being used with separate framing structures erected outside of the building perimeter, although in some exemplary embodiments, channel units can be used on structures erected outside of the perimeter of the building.

A roof cover of a building under construction includes a heat shrinkable film stretched over the roof framing of said building under construction. The film brought into conformity with said roof framing through application of heat. The film may be formed by a number of adjoining sheets or strips of material.

A monorail assembly includes a first scaffold system comprising at least one framework member being an elongated structure having a bottom chord and a plurality of panel points along the bottom chord; at least one monorail beam; and at least one bracket structure configured to secure to the at least one framework member at or about at least two panel points and to the at least one monorail beam.

A barrier material for a containment system comprising: a first portion of polymeric material having an open structure defined by a plurality of small openings to function as a fine screen, the first portion of polymeric material being formed from a plurality of fibrous materials and being configured to form a static structure having a display surface; and a second portion attached to a second surface of the first portion, the second portion having an open structure defined by a plurality openings to function as a reinforcing member for the first portion; wherein the display surface of the first portion is configured to receive and retain a printed image thereon.

A method of providing covers over at least a portion of a roof of a storm damaged built structure that includes the steps of: applying a sheet of heat shrinkable film over the portion of the roof, the sheet having a leading edge and a trailing edge and being a film of low density polyethylene including shrinking resins; wrapping portions of the leading edge around a first batten and attaching the first batten to the underside of a first eave or to the facia of the built structure; wrapping portions of the trailing edge around a second batten and attaching the second batten to the underside of a second eave or to the facia of the built structure at a location different than the first batten; and heating the sheet of heat shrinkable film to bring the film into conformity with the portion of the roof, wherein the heating step shrinks the sheet of film tight against the built structure to cover over the portion of the roof.

The present protective barrier is similar to those commonly installed beneath ceilings during construction work being performed on ceilings or roofs of buildings, wherein two or more sections are sewn together to construct the protective barrier. However, the present protective barrier also comprises a dustcover, which covers the seam entirely preventing dust from passing through holes created when the seam is sewn using a thread or similar means.

A tent for surrounding a base of an upstanding structure on a support surface is disclosed. The tent features a covering with a top edge arranged to follow a perimeter of the structure base and a bottom edge arranged to define an outer periphery of the covering. The tent additionally features a base strap arranged for forming a closed loop about the structure base at a predetermined height above the support surface. The base strap supports a first attachment member, and a second attachment member is located along the top edge of the covering for cooperating with the first attachment member to fasten the covering at the structure base. A tightening strap along the top edge of the covering but behind the second attachment member is arranged to follow the base strap to seal connection of the covering and the base strap.

In one embodiment, a roof covering system includes at least two ridge post members, a tarp at least two cables, at least two poles, at least two pole attachment members, and at least two winches. Each ridge post member may include a base configured to attach to a ridge of a roof, a head member; and a post having a bottom end and a top end, the bottom end secured to the base, and the top end secured to the head member. The tarp may have a top edge and a bottom edge, and connection points disposed near the top and bottom edges, wherein the head members are configured to attach to the connection points near the top edge. The cables may be configured to attach to the connection points near the bottom edge of the tarp. The poles may be configured to each guide a respective cable. The two pole attachment members may each be configured to attach a respective pole to a location on the roof below the ridge of the roof. The winches may each be configured to apply tension to a respective cable, thereby suspending the tarp above the roof.

A covering of a damaged or uncompleted building; the covering including a film of heat shrinkable material stretched over damaged or uncompleted portions of the building; the film formed as a sheet comprising an assembly of lengths of the heat shrinkable material applied to surfaces of the building.

An apparatus for an entryway includes: a sheet of material having a top, a bottom, a left side, and a right side, and a sleeve at the top of the sheet of material. The sheet of material has an opening extending to the bottom of the sheet of material between the left side and the right side of the sheet of material from a position below the sleeve. The opening has a left seam and a right seam, wherein a first magnet is positioned at the left seam of the opening and a second magnet is positioned at the right seam of the opening, wherein the first and second magnets are magnetically coupled. A variable-length cross member has a first end and a second end. The cross member is positioned in the sleeve and includes a first securing mechanism at the first end and a second securing mechanism at the second end that secure the cross member respectively to body portions of a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole.
