Abstract
A light-transmissive decking section for use in a decking assembly for supporting a user while allowing the user to receive light through the decking assembly. The light-transmissive decking section is provided with a light-transmissive top section. The transmissive properties of the light-transmissive decking section increase the aesthetic appeal of the decking assembly and allow the light to be used below the decking assembly for illumination and heat. The light-transmissive decking section may also be provided with a light or a solar panel to alternatively emanate light or generate power from ambient light.
