ABSTRACT:
A cover for a wooden deck structure which protects people walking on the deck structure from splinters. In one embodiment, the cover is in the form of a thin walled, U-shaped channel member which fits over one board of the deck structure. In doing so, the central section of the channel member overlies the top of the board while the sides of the channel member extend downwardly along the sides of the boards. The channel member is made of a synthetic extrudable material, such as vinyl, and is attached to the board by gluing.
In a second embodiment, the cover is made from a plurality of elongated, flat strips haivng a tongue on one side and a matching groove on its other side. The strips are positioned on top of the deck strucuture so that the tongue and grooves of adjacent strips interlock and are attached to the deck structure by glue. In addition, the longitudinal axes of the strips can be transverse with respect to the axes of the boards in the deck structure.
