Abstract

A fixing bracket is described for joining wooden building components to each other and to a substrate, particularly of the kind used for joining boards used to cover balconies and decks outdoors. It is essential that the fixing bracket is a double angle consisting of two L-sections (2, 2′), having a double web (5) consisting of two section legs (3, 3′), whereby a fixing hole (9, 9′) is provided in the angle flanges (8, 8′). In an advantageous manner, the tongue-shaped spikes (6, 6′) are arranged near the upper edge of the web and are cut directly out of the web and bent out perpendicularly from the web.
