rain protection

I currently have a 3' silt fence around my two of my plants (the third is still
under a clothes basket - I put a small piece of wood longer than the top of the
basket with a brick. It distributes the weight of the brick more evenly.).
Besides the silt fence for protection, what else should I use for severe storm
forecast? The last severe storm that went through must have had some imbedded
small hail since the leaves were torn. I was thinking about securing a sheet
over the the top of the silt fence to prevent rain/hail damage. I was thinking
about letting the sheet droop a little away from the plant using a small rock to
help drain the rain to that area with the rock. Any suggestions on whether or
not to cover the plant from the top?
