Abstract

A synthetic wood board comprised of an extrusion of plastics material having opposed elongated top and bottom flat parallel walls spaced apart by transverse walls. A wood grain simulation pattern is formed in at least one of the top or bottom surfaces of the board. Two of the transverse walls are end walls, and each have integrally formed elongated connectors which interconnect with connectors of an adjacent one of the synthetic wood boards. A central fastener receiving channel extends longitudinally in the top and bottom walls and aligned back to back. A transverse wall is provided on each side of the fastener receiving panel. The fastener receiving channel of at least the top wall is provided with a cover strip which is removably connectable across a top opening thereof to conceal fastener heads of fasteners secured therein.
