Why the black tarp?

In the episode where the Cre8play jungle gym is revealed. I noticed that in scenes at OCC, there are large black tarps covering the work benches along the wall in the background. Including the bench infront of the window to Sr's office.

You can clearly tell that there are objects underneath being covered up. But why? This was in the fab area where the show is done. In front of Sr's office. I can understand not wanting to show other stuff in other areas of the shop, that don't involve the show. But why would you store something in the corner where you know the show is being taped, if you don't want it on tv?

Anyone else notice the benches along the wall, in the corner, being covered up?

The show condenses weeks of work into one or two episodes. They then throw in some of the personal stuff out of sequence to create the drama. Some of the builds overlap each other, so they cover up unaired builds and materials in progress to keep future episodes secret. The same is done over at Jr's shop. This has been done for years.
