ABSTRACT:
A fastener for securing boards to joists includes first and second sharp, pointed prongs. The first prong has a driving portion for driving the prong at an angle through a first board and a joist thereunder. The second prong extends from the first prong at an angle in the range of about 30 to 60 degrees and acts to secure an adjacent board to the first board. In another aspect, a fastener for securing boards to joists thereunder includes a first member having two parallel sharp, pointed prongs, and a third sharp, pointed prong extending from the first member at an angle in the range of about 35-55 degrees. One of the prongs of the first member is driven into a first board and the other of the prongs is driven into the joist. The third prong secures an adjacent board to the first board.
