A cover, a board assembly and a method for protecting a board are provided. A tool for trimming edges of a board is also provided. The tool has blades disposed on opposite sides of a frame which enable a user to trim edges of a board simultaneously and symmetrically. A top portion of each of the boards is trimmed proximate to lengthwise edges. In an alternate embodiment, the boards are trimmed prior to assembly of the deck to create a groove along each of the edges. A cover, constructed from a wood/plastic composite, is placed on each of the boards. The cover extends across a top surface of each of the boards and into the grooves created by trimming of the board. Accordingly, a deck utilizing-one-or more covers may be used for a prolonged period of time.
