Abstract
A load-bearing plank-like member is adapted to be supported by its ends on support members having peg members engageable with complementary apertures in the plank member. The plank member is of hollow cross-section and incorporates at least one internal longitudinal web disposed parallel to the upper, load bearing surface of the plank member, the web being spaced from the underside of the plank member by a distance less than the length of said peg members. Vertically aligned complementary apertures are formed in the underside of the plank member and in the web, whereby when the plank member is engaged with the support member each of the pegs engages with apertures both in the underside of the member and in the web.
