A decking system includes an extruded metal ledger board for mounting onto a supporting surface of a building structure and extruded metal joists which can be cut to length and joined to the ledger board using mounting clips that can be secured to the joists. A beam supporting the joists thereon and fascia trim members surrounding the perimeter of the decking system can also be used which are formed of extruded structural members arranged to be mated to the joists. A stair assembly formed of extruded structural members can also be mated together to form stairs connected to the decking system. Post supporting elements can also be coupled to the joists for supporting railing posts about a perimeter of the decking system.

A deck assembly is formed of a plurality of deck boards spanning across a second of joist members to provide structural support between the joist members. Each deck board includes a base frame with an upper panel having an upper supporting surface and a plurality of support legs extending downwardly from the upper panel in engagement with the joist members to support the upper panel spaced above the joist members. Each deck board also has one or more channels formed in the upper panel so as to define an elongate passage which is recessed downwardly relative to the upper panel and which is open at a top side at the upper supporting surface of the upper panel to receive an elongated flexible heating member within the channels of the deck boards. Panels of finishing material on the upper supporting surfaces span over the heating member.

EXTRUDED DECK BOARD WITH FINISHING MATERIAL INSERT
A plurality of intermediate deck boards span across joists in a decking system in which each deck board includes a lower frame portion extruded of a first material and an insert body inserted into the top side of the lower frame portion which is formed of a second material. Additional extruded members are used as starting and ending rows of the deck boards and as finishing boards across the ends of the intermediate deck boards, in which each of the deck boards defines a respective portion of an upper deck surface of the assembled deck structure. The perimeter extruded members include mounting channels for mounting a railing structure thereon.

A decking system comprises a ledger board for mounting on an upright supporting surface, a beam, a plurality of joists for spanning between the ledger board and the beam, and a plurality of deck boards for spanning across the joists in which all of the components can be mounted to one another by interlocking engagement of various connectors so that no additional fasteners are required for assembly. The components are formed of extruded and molded materials which do not require any maintenance. A railing system and a stair system are also provided which similarly connect by interlocking engagement of the components.
