Abstract: Aspects of a pallet assembly are disclosed including two engagement stringers having a plurality of perpendicular stringers therebetween and engaged, end to end, to each engagement stringer, and one or more inert support surfaces supported thereby. The one or more support surfaces are a plurality of top slats supported and held directly by the frame comprising the stringers and the engagement stringers. The top slats include a structure that is complementary to a feature defined by the frame and that allows the top slats to mate with and be held by the frame. The pallet assembly demands fasteners for assembling the frame; however, in at least one aspect, the pallet assembly of the present disclosure also demands fasteners for attaching the top slats to the frame. In another aspect, the stringers and the engagement stringers each comprise a multilayer composite strip or multiple multilayer composite strips.

Abstract: A deck board system for integrating artificial turf and drainage features includes a plurality of deck board panels, each with an extruded or pultruded panel body featuring an internal screw boss, an internal reinforcement strip, an overhang, a ledge, drainage openings on the topside, and underside openings. The system further comprises a finishing feature and an artificial turf layer. The overhang engages with adjacent panels, while the finishing feature straddles at least two panels and engages with the overhang. The artificial turf layer covers one or more deck board panels, providing a seamless and functional deck surface with integrated drainage capabilities.

Abstract: Aspects of a recyclable color blend polymer pallet assembly are disclosed including two engagement stringers having a plurality of perpendicular stringers therebetween and engaged, end to end, to each engagement stringer, and one or more inert support surfaces supported thereby. The one or more support surfaces are a plurality of top slats supported and held directly by the frame comprising the stringers and the engagement stringers. The top slats include a structure that is complementary to a feature defined by the frame and that allows the top slats to mate with and be held by the frame. The pallet assembly demands fasteners for assembling the frame and top slats. In another aspect, the stringers and the engagement stringers each comprise one or more target inserts for reinforcing the frame of the pallet assembly.
