Abstract
The invention relates to a method of assembling a deck structure, the method comprising: providing a joist member; a plurality of deck boards, each deck board having laterally opposing side edges and a groove in the deck board between the laterally opposing side edges, the deck boards are arranged to span across the joist member parallel and laterally adjacent to one another and transversely to the longitudinal direction of the joist member; providing a plurality of decking clips, wherein each decking clip comprises a body having a transverse upper member with an upper surface and a lower surface, a perpendicular member extending from the lower surface of the upper member, a central aperture through the upper member, two or more clip anchor apertures positioned about the central aperture, and a planar surface section on the upper surface of the transverse upper member between the central aperture and the two or more clip anchor apertures, and a clip having an upper surface and a lower surface, a central clip aperture therethrough, and two or more clip anchors positioned along at least one edge of the clip and extending downward away from the lower surface of the clip, wherein the clip anchor apertures receive the clip anchors when the central aperture of the transverse upper member corresponds at least partially with the central clip aperture and the lower surface of the clip engages the planar surface section of the upper surface of the transverse upper member; positioning a portion of the transverse upper member of each decking clip in the groove in the board; and securing each decking clip to the joist by passing a fastening device through the central clip aperture and the central aperture. This arrangement of the clip anchors and clip anchor apertures provides a secure engagement that allows the securing of a fastening device therethrough without affecting the decking clip.
Claims (13)
1. A method of assembling a deck structure, the method comprising: providing a joist member; providing a plurality of deck boards, each deck board having laterally opposing side edges and a groove in the deck board between the laterally opposing side edges, the deck boards arranged to span across the joist member parallel and laterally adjacent to one another and transversely to the longitudinal direction of the joist member; providing a plurality of decking clips, wherein each decking clip comprises a body having a transverse upper member with an upper surface and a lower surface, a perpendicular member extending from the lower surface of the upper member, a central aperture through the upper member, two or more clip anchor apertures positioned about the central aperture, and a planar surface section on the upper surface of the transverse upper member between the central aperture and the two or more clip anchor apertures, and a clip having an upper surface and a lower surface, a central clip aperture therethrough, and two or more clip anchors positioned along at least one edge of the clip and extending downward away from the lower surface of the clip, wherein the clip anchor apertures receive the clip anchors when the central aperture of the transverse upper member corresponds at least partially with the central clip aperture and the lower surface of the clip engages the planar surface section of the upper surface of the transverse upper member; positioning a portion of the transverse upper member of each decking clip in the groove in the board; and securing each decking clip to the joist by passing a fastening device through the central clip aperture and the central aperture.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the body of each decking clip is formed of a first material and the clip is formed of a second material.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein each decking clip has a generally T- shaped side view. 01435\11101\7877156.v1
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transverse upper member of each decking clip has a shape selected from biscuit, bowtie, rectangular, and oval.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein a first axis of the transverse upper member of each decking clip is longer than a second perpendicular axis of the transverse upper member of the decking clip.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein each decking clip further comprises one or more stabilizers extending from the upper surface of the transverse upper member which are substantially perpendicular to a plane formed by the perpendicular member.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein each decking clip further comprises a second perpendicular member extending from the lower surface of the body.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the perpendicular member of each decking clip extending from the lower surface of the body has a uniform thickness.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the perpendicular member of each decking clip extending from the lower surface of the body has a first thickness at a first end and a second thickness at a second end.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein the perpendicular member extending from the lower surface of the body has a rounded first end and a rounded second end.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein each decking clip further comprises a tubular member extending from the lower surface of the body along the length of the perpendicular member.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein each decking clip further comprises a guide member extending from the lower surface of the body adjacent the perpendicular member and the central aperture. 01435\11101\7877156.v1
13. The method of claim 1 substantially as herein described with reference to any embodiment disclosed. 01435\11101\7877156.v1
