The locking bead is configured to be received in the receiver.
Claims16
A deck drainage system comprising:
- a bracket comprising:
- a first leg and an elongate receiver connected to an end portion of the leg, wherein the elongate receiver defines a substantially round cross-sectional profile, wherein the elongate receiver defines an open mouth defined by a chord and a line disposed substantially orthogonal to the chord, and wherein the first leg is disposed on a first side of the line;
- and
- a flexible tab connected to and extending away from the elongate receiver on a second side of the line, wherein the flexible tab is configured to deflect when secured to a deck structure;
- a locking bead comprising an elongate member defining a slit in an outer surface of the elongate member;
- and
- a sheet having at least one edge configured to be disposed in the slit, wherein the locking bead is configured to be received in the elongate receiver.
