Abstract
A panel module having special support means by which adjacent and coplanar panels are effectively interlocked so that they are not relatively translated even by significant loading intermediately of their locations of external support. Thus a very lightweight panel nature may be provided, for ease of installation and removal, thus particularly beneficial for decking sections of an installation for such uses as poultry raising. A lip-like wall is provided to extend horizontally from each of the upper and lower portions of an edge of one panel, and its adjacent panel is provided with a vertical wall which in installation nests snugly between the lip-like walls; and extra certainty and positiveness of the interlocking effect is provided by a hook-like formation of one of the lip-like walls.
