Abstract: An abutment for use with a modular decking system that includes decking in the form of a plurality of treads, each tread being elongate and having a longitudinal axis, a topside, an underside and two ends having respective end surfaces, the underside of at least a first end of each tread including a tread coupling member. The abutment includes a tread receiving portion configured to receive the underside of the first end of each tread to thereby support the decking, the tread receiving portion including an abutment coupling member for engagement with the tread coupling member of each tread so as to prevent longitudinal movement of each received tread. The abutment also includes an upright margin configured such that the end surface of the first end of a received tread can lie closely adjacent thereto to provide a border for the decking.

Abstract: A tread and bearer member locating system for a modular decking system, the modular decking system including decking in the form of a plurality of treads, and the decking being carried by one or more bearer members. The treads are elongate and have a longitudinal axis, a topside, an underside and a lateral width. The tread and bearer member locating system includes treads and bearer members, wherein the underside of at least one tread includes, at or near each end thereof, a bearer member receiving area, at least one of the bearer member receiving areas being bound longitudinally between a pair of spaced apart, downwardly extending locating projections, and laterally between opposed coupling members capable of, in use, coupling with correspondingly shaped coupling members in adjacent treads.

Abstract: The present invention provides a suspending device for a plant container having a base an upstanding parametric wall projecting from the base, the parametric wall having an outwardly projecting peripheral rim. The suspending device includes a wall receiving portion for receiving and releasably retaining a portion of the upper edge of the wall of the plant container, and a structure-securing portion for allowing the device and the plant container to be secured to a structure. The wall receiving portion may include a shoulder for abutting at least a portion of the peripheral rim. The wall receiving portion may also include a resilient member for maintaining said portion of the peripheral rim in abutting engagement with the shoulder such that the container is retained thereby; wherein, in use, the shoulder is capable of holding the full weight of the container to thereby suspend the container.
