  • Patent number: 5511353
    Abstract: A portable decking system formed from a plurality of flat panels adapted to be placed directly on the ground is provided with special clips that facilitate interconnection of adjacent edges of adjacent panels. The clips are generally W-shaped in cross-section to define a pair of channels each of which is receptive to a frame member of a flat panel. The clips are constructed to securely connect the panels together but in a manner that enables their ready detachment, all of which may be accomplished without tools or additional fasteners.
