Modular wooden decking for patios, balconies or terraces

Abstract

The present invention relates to modular wooden decking for patios, balconies or terraces. According to the invention, the wooden decking comprises a framework made up of a plurality of rectangular frames ( 1 ) which are arranged alongside one another and whose sides have lengths which are a multiple of the length of the shortest side (l), and boards ( 5, 9 ) laid on top of the frames and secured to them, said boards having a length which is a multiple of the length (l) of the shortest side of the frame.

1 . A modular wooden decking for patios, balconies or terraces, characterized by a framework made up of a plurality of rectangular frames ( 1 ) which are arranged alongside one another and whose sides have lengths which are a multiple of the length of the shortest side (l), and boards ( 5 ,  9 ) laid on top of the frames and secured to them, said boards having a length which is a multiple of the length (l) of the shortest side of the frame.  
   
   
       2 . The modular wooden decking as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the boards ( 5 ,  9 ) have the same width (b) and are secured to the frames ( 1 ) with a spacing a between adjacent boards, and in that a multiple of the sum of the width (b) of a board and the spacing a between adjacent boards is equal to the length of the longest side of the frames.  
   
   
       3 . The modular wooden decking as claimed in claim, characterized in that the frames ( 1 ) are square.  
   
   
       4 . The modular wooden decking as claimed in  claim 3 , characterized in that the frames ( 1 ) are made up of four identical joists ( 2 ) which have a thickness greater than the spacing a between the boards.  
   
   
       5 . The modular wooden decking as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that each frame ( 1 ) has a central joist ( 4 ) arranged midway between the two shortest sides of the frame.  
   
   
       6 . The modular wooden decking as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the boards ( 5 ,  9 ) are screwed securely to the frames ( 1 ), and in that screw holes are pre-drilled in the boards.  
   
   
       7 . A package for a unit forming part of the modular wooden decking as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the package contains all the components included in a modular unit ( 8 ,  10 ) of frame(s) ( 1 ), central joist(s) ( 4 ), boards ( 5 ,  9 ), angle irons ( 3 ) and screws.  
   
   
       8 . The package for a unit forming part of the modular wooden decking as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises angle irons ( 3 ) and screws for one or more modules.  
   
   
       9 . The modular wooden decking as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that the frames ( 1 ) are square.
