Deck drainage systems
A deck drainage system includes a first bracket. The first bracket has an elongate axis and a transverse axis substantially transverse to the elongate axis. A leg extends along the transverse axis. A first arm extends from the bracket, as does a second arm, where the second arm is substantially parallel to the first arm.
1. A deck drainage system comprising:
a first bracket comprising:
an elongate axis;
a transverse axis substantially transverse to the elongate axis;
a leg extending along the transverse axis;
a first arm extending downwardly from the leg; and
a second arm extending downwardly from the leg, wherein the second arm is substantially parallel over substantially an entire length of the second arm to the first arm; and
a sheet comprising:
a wide end having a wide width;
a narrow end having a narrow width less than the wide width; and
two edges connecting the wide end and the narrow end, such that the two edges define a substantially tapered shape of the sheet and wherein at least one of the two edges is adapted to be removably received in a slot defined by the first arm and the second arm.
2. The deck drainage system of claim 1 , further comprising a second bracket substantially identical to the first bracket.
3. The deck drainage system of claim 1 , wherein the first bracket further comprises a tab extending along the transverse axis, wherein the first arm intersects the bracket at a location between the leg and the tab.
4. The deck drainage system of claim 1 , wherein the leg extends along the elongate axis.
5. The deck drainage system of claim 4 , wherein the first arm and the second arm extend along the elongate axis.
6. The deck drainage system of claim 1 ,
wherein each of the first arm and the second arm are connected to the body at an angle of between about 5 degrees and about 85 degrees.
7. The deck drainage system of claim 6 , wherein each of the first arm and the second arm are connected to the body at an angle of between about 15 degrees and about 75 degrees.
8. The deck drainage system of claim 7 , wherein each of the first arm and the second arm are connected to the body at an angle of between about 25 degrees and about 65 degrees.
9. The deck drainage system of claim 8 , wherein each of the first arm and the second arm are connected to the body at an angle of about 45 degrees.
10. The deck drainage system of claim 1 , wherein the first bracket further comprises a tab extending along the transverse axis, wherein the first arm intersects the bracket at a location between the leg and the tab.
