         5 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each of the step clip fastening device comprises a plurality of step clips attached on a base strip of the step clip fastening device. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each of the at least two supporting members have a hole at each end of the supporting member for attaching the frame with the ground surface with at least one fastener. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of locking mechanisms at each side of the frame for attaching one or more deck tiles. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a skirting removably attached on an outer surface of each side of the frame. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the skirting comprises a plurality of locking mechanisms for attaching the skirting with one side of the frame. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of deck boards are mounted on the at least two step clip fastening devices. 
     
     
         11 . A deck tile system comprising:
 a deck tile assembly, wherein the assembly comprises:
 a frame having at least four sides; 
 a plurality of bars for providing a support structure to the frame; 
 at least two parallel sleepers permanently attached between two opposite sides of the frame and mounted on the plurality of bars; 
 at least two step clip fastening devices, wherein each of the step clip fastening device is mounted on one of the at least two parallel sleepers; and 
 at least two supporting members for attaching the frame with the ground surface; and 
   a plurality of deck boards attached to the deck tile assembly, wherein each of the plurality of deck boards are mounted between two step clips of each of the at least two step clip fastening devices.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of skirting, wherein each skirting is removable attached to one side of the deck tile assembly. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein each of the at least two parallel sleepers have a plurality of grooves at a base of each parallel sleeper. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein each of the step clip fastening device comprises a plurality of step clips attached on a base strip of the step clip fastening device. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein each of the at least two supporting members have a hole at each end of the supporting member for attaching the frame with the ground surface with at least one fastener. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of locking mechanisms at each side of the frame for attaching one or more deck tiles. 
     
     
         17 . A method of assembling at least two deck tile assemblies, the method comprising the steps of:
 placing a first deck tile assembly on a ground surface;   placing a second deck tile assembly adjacent to the first deck tile assembly;   aligning a plurality of groves of the first deck tile assembly with a plurality of protrusions of the second deck tile assembly;   aligning a plurality of protrusions of the first deck tile assembly with a plurality of grooves of the second deck tile assembly;   snapping the second deck tile assembly with the first deck tile assembly;   fastening the first deck tile assembly and the second deck tile assembly using a plurality of locking mechanisms; and   attaching a plurality of skirting enclosing a periphery of the two assembled deck tile assemblies.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 attaching the first deck tile assembly to a ground surface by using one or more fasteners; and   attaching the second deck tile assembly to the ground surface by using the one or more fasteners.
