Wood decks and boards are commonly used as flooring materials for trails, walkways in the park, around the lake, and on the floor of the room. The demand for natural-friendly flooring using wood decks and boards is on the rise, because the flooring made of wood decks gives the pedestrians an eco-friendly aesthetics with a beautiful pattern and soft texture unique to wood .

In order to form a floor material by using a wood deck, the wooden deck and the plate materials must be disposed adjacent to each other. Conventionally, a concrete foundation is installed on the floor surface where the wood deck and the plate material are installed, A wood deck and a plate material are assembled to an upper part of the frame, and then a wood deck and a plate material are fastened to the frame by fixing means such as nails or bolts.

However, fixing the wood deck and the plate by this method has a problem that the fastening means such as nails, rivets, and bolts are directly fastened to the wood deck and the plate to damage the wooden deck and the plate.

As a result, snow and rain penetrate into the damaged part of the wood deck and the plate, thereby reducing the durability of the material itself, and the fixing means formed on the wood deck and the plate are often protruded to the outside, thereby damaging the body of the pedestrian .

In order to overcome this problem, there has been proposed a fixing clip for a wood deck and a plate for fixing a wooden deck and a plate to a frame without being exposed to the outside of the wooden deck and the plate.

However, the above-described conventional techniques have the following problems.

Conventionally, a fixing clip for a wood deck and a plate has a structure in which a wooden deck and a plate are sandwiched between the wood deck and a plate, and a clip or a plate is fastened to the frame by fastening a nail or a bolt at an oblique angle The fixing between the clip and the frame can not be performed firmly and precisely, and the installation is somewhat complicated, so that a relatively long time and manpower are required for installation.

Also, as described above, the nails or bolts fastened to the wood deck and the plate are fastened, whereby water or moisture penetrates into the wood deck and the plate through the fastening portions of the wood deck and the plate fastened with the nails or bolts, The plate material is easily damaged and its life is remarkably shortened.
