ABSTRACT:
An attachment system, method and connector connection for constructing a structure having supporting members and supported members as most commonly found in house and patio wood decks, board walks, stair systems, wood benches and trellis systems. The structures using the present disclosures are characterized by the apparent absence of nails or other fasteners. In fact, however, the structures are securely fastened by nails or screw fasteners in combination with a unique connector which uniquely is not directly connected to the supporting members.
In some forms of the invention, locator prongs are provided on the connector for assisting the installer to attach the connector to the supporting board member. In its broadest form, however, no prongs are needed on the connector.
In a preferred form of the connector, a projection is formed in the connector which bears against the underside of an adjacent structure even though the connector is not precisely installed.
