Deck preservation system

A deck preservation system comprising:

• at least one deck board cap having:
• an elongated one-piece deck board cap top cover for a deck board, adapted for a secure coupling to a board top surface of the deck board to cover the board top surface;
• a first cap side integrally formed with the deck board top cover and extended downwardly and adapted for a secure coupling to a board side of the deck board and configured to substantially grip the board side of the deck board;
• a second cap side integrally formed with the deck board cap top cover and extended downwardly and adapted for a secure coupling to a board side of the deck board and configured to substantially grip the board side of the deck board;
• wherein the first cap side and the second cap side are opposed to one another;
• and an inverted channel profile integrally formed and defined by the deck board top cover and first and second cap sides to cover and protect the deck board;
• at least one first fin extended from a midsection of at least one of the first cap side and at least one second fin extended from a midsection of the second cap side, wherein the at least one first fin is extended inwardly toward the inverted channel profile and are configured to provide greater tension and attachment to a deck board and to provide adequate friction between the fins and board surfaces to hold the deck board cap in place without the need for additional mounting hardware;
• and a curvature defined and integrally formed within the elongated one-piece deck board cap top cover, wherein the curvature is very slight and upward and adapted for water runoff such that precipitation does not pool, wherein the curvature defined in the deck board cap top cover is adapted to provide a tension to cling to the deck board;
• and
• at least one end cap configured to cover an end of the deck board and to protect and preserve the end of the deck board;
• wherein the first cap side and the second cap side extended straightly and downwardly from the deck board top cover at a predetermined, less than ninety-degree, angle, and inwardly relative to the deck board top cover, thus configured to more substantially grip the board side of the deck board;
• wherein the deck board cap is adapted for placement over the deck board and for installation by a push downwardly to cover the deck board without the need for additional mounting hardware.

A wooden deck board cap comprising:

• an elongated one-piece deck board cap top cover for a wooden deck board, adapted for a secure coupling to a board top surface of the wooden deck board to cover the board top surface;
• a first cap side integrally formed with the deck board top cover and extended downwardly and adapted for a secure coupling to a board side of the wooden deck board and configured to substantially grip the board side of the deck board;
• a second cap side integrally formed with the deck board cap top cover and extended downwardly and adapted for a secure coupling to a board side of the wooden deck board and configured to substantially grip the board side of the deck board;
• wherein the first cap side and the second cap side are opposed to one another;
• an inverted channel profile integrally formed and defined by the deck board top cover and first and second cap sides to cover and protect the wooden deck board;
• and
• at least one fin extended from a midsection of at least one of the first cap side and the second cap side, wherein the at least one fin is configured to provide greater tension and attachment to a deck board and to provide adequate friction between the fin and board surface to hold the deck board cap in place without the need for additional mounting hardware;
• wherein the first cap side and the second cap side extended straightly and downwardly from the deck board top cover at a predetermined, less than ninety-degree, angle, and inwardly relative to the deck board top cover, thus configured to more substantially grip the board side of the deck board;
• wherein the deck board cap is adapted for placement over the deck board and for installation by a push downwardly to cover the deck board without the need for additional mounting hardware.
