A deck plank (1) of the present invention comprises a plank member (5) adapted to be secured directly to and to span between two or more support members (3), such as the joists of a dock structure or of a residential deck. The plank member is an elongate member having a bottom adapted to bear directly on the support members. The plank member is provided with at least one stiffening member (15). A cover (7) is removably secured to plank member so as to be supported at least in part by the stiffening members and so as to constitute an upper surface of the deck plank upon which a person may walk.
