Abstract

A fastening system for decking boards (16) includes a series of supports (14) that define a central raised wall (24) and two planar portions (22) located either side of the wall. A stem (52) depending from a generally semi-circular washer (18) extends into a recess in the wall. Slots in the decking board run along both sides of the board. A first pair of supports is located on a bearer (12) and a first board is supported on the planar portions (22) of the supports, above the bearer. One half of the semi-circular top (50) of one washer is rotated to extend into the slot in the side of the decking board. A second board is located adjacent the first board on the support. A further support is slipped under the side of the second board. A washer in the further support is rotated and locked in place with a screw.
