Covers, systems and methods for covering deck components

A deck comprising at least one floorboard having a top and a pair of opposed sides, at least two couplings each defining a channel therein and being positioned adjacent a corresponding one of the pair of opposed sides of the floorboard, and at least one cover positioned on the floorboard such that corresponding portions of the cover are received and retained within the channels defined by the couplings, wherein each of the couplings includes a lower surface within its channel sloping generally downward towards an open end of the channel to allow liquid to flow through and out the open end of the channel.

A system for covering a board, the board having a pair of opposed sides, the system comprising at least one cover, and at least two couplings each of which is adjacent a corresponding one of the pair of opposed sides of the board, each of the couplings defining a channel adapted to receive and retain therein a corresponding portion of the cover when the cover is positioned on the board, wherein each of the channels slopes generally downward towards an open end of the channel to allow a liquid to flow through and out the open end of the channel.

A system for covering a board, the board having a pair of opposed sides, the system comprising at least one cover, and at least two couplings each of which is adjacent a corresponding one of the pair of opposed sides of the board, each said coupling defining a channel adapted to receive and retain therein a corresponding portion of the cover when the cover is positioned on the board, wherein each said channel slopes generally downward towards an open end of the channel to allow a liquid to flow through and out the open end of the channel, each said channel including a pair of inwardly bent portions that are individually engageable with a corresponding inwardly bent portion of the cover for retaining an individual bent portion of the cover within an inwardly bent portion of the channel, the inwardly bent portions of the channel and the corresponding inwardly bent portions of the cover having a cross-section that is generally U-shaped.

A system for covering a board, the board having a pair of opposed sides, the system comprising at least one cover, and at least two couplings each of which is adjacent a corresponding one of the pair of opposed sides of the board, each said coupling defining a channel adapted to receive and retain therein a corresponding portion of the cover when the cover is positioned on the board, wherein each said channel slopes generally downward towards an open end of the channel to allow a liquid to flow through and out the open end of the channel, each said coupling including one or more fastener slots to accommodate expansion of the couplings.

A deck comprising at least one floorboard having a top and a pair of opposed sides, at least two couplings each defining a channel therein and being positioned adjacent a corresponding one of the pair of opposed sides of the floorboard, and at least one cover positioned on the floorboard such that corresponding portions of the cover are received and retained within the channels defined by the couplings, wherein each said channel slopes generally downward towards an open end of the channel to allow a liquid to flow through and out the open end of the channel, each said channel including a pair of inwardly bent portions that are individually engageable with a corresponding inwardly bent portion of the cover for retaining an individual bent portion of the cover within an inwardly bent portion of the channel, the inwardly bent portions of the channel and the corresponding inwardly bent portions of the cover having a cross-section that is generally U-shaped.
