Abstract: A clip for securing a board to a support member. The clip includes a body defining an aperture therethrough and a tab projecting from the body. The tab advantageously has a first position wherein the tab inner surface is disposed at a first angle to the body inner surface. In this embodiment the tab is elastically movable to a second position wherein the tab inner surface is disposed at a second angle to the body inner surface that is less than the first angle. In some embodiments the clip is adapted for use with boards having opposing, longitudinally extending protruding and inset sides. The clip is disposed over the protruding side and an elongated fastener is disposed through the clip and the protruding side and into the support member. The inset side of a second board adjacent the secured protruding side can be biased toward the support member by contact of that side with the clip tab. Also a system and method of using the clip to secure a board to a support member.
