The invention relates to a tarpaulin mounting frame, in particular for a truck or a truck trailer comprising a chassis profile (4) and an anchor profile (5) which is provided with a round foot (17, 17') on the longitudinal edge thereof oriented towards the tarpaulin (19). Said foot is insertable or introducible in one or several round slots (16, 16') of the chassis profile (4) or an intermediate profile (35) connected thereto. The anchor profile (5) is arranged in a parallel direction with respect to the tensed tarpaulin by rotating around the foot thereof (17, 17'). The anchor profile (5) or weatherstrip profile (26), which is connected in such a way that it is displaceable, is provided with at least one weather-strip reception device (22). Said invention is characterized in that the anchor profile (5) contacts the chassis profile (4) or the intermediate profile (35) connected thereto between the foot (17, 17') of the anchor profile (5) and the weather-strip reception device (22).
