  • Patent number: 7886494
    Abstract: The multiple bracket decking apparatus provides multiple brackets for installing deck boards to adjoining structures. The brackets ideally provide for about ?- 3/16 inch space between boards. While the apparatus is especially ideal for use with deck boards which are made of composites, the apparatus is also excellent for use with deck boards made of other materials. The brackets are especially suited to deck boards with grooves into which the tangs of the brackets fit. The brackets of the apparatus uniquely provide for the use of nails and nail guns for fastening the brackets. This advantage provides greatly reduced labor costs and well as reduced fastener costs. A further advantage provided by the apparatus is the fourth bracket, which provides for angled deck boards, in relation to supporting joists.
