20080222993 | Deck mounting bracket with spacer and mounting tabs - A deck mounting bracket for hidden use in installing parallel deck boards oriented transverse to joists includes an upwardly oriented joist member joined at a top edge with a transverse deck member to form a generally L-shaped bracket. The bracket includes tabs projecting outwardly from the top edge of the joist member. The tabs are planar with a flat planar top surface of the transverse deck member. The bracket includes a spacer projecting upwardly from the top surface of the deck member. In use, the tabs of the bracket are placed on the top of a joist and a deck board placed transverse to the joist rests on one of the tabs to retain the mounting bracket in place. The bracket is slid until the spacer contacts a side face of the deck board. An installer then fastens the bracket to the joist and to the deck board from below the deck board. Thus the fastener secured to the deck member is hidden and no hole is formed in a top face of the deck board. | 09-18-2008 |
