Abstract:
A flooring system for providing a floor surface in a camping tent. The flooring system includes a plurality of interlocking planks each comprising upper and lower faces, a pair of opposite end edges, a pair of side edges extending between the end edges of the interlocking plank, and a longitudinal axis extending between the end edges of the interlocking plank. A first of the side edges of each interlocking plank has an elongate channel therein extending between the end edges of the interlocking plank. A second of the side edges of each interlocking plank has an elongate tongue portion outwardly extending therefrom between the end edges of the interlocking plank. Each of the end edges of each interlocking plank has a socket therein extending between the side edges of the interlocking plank. The interlocking planks are arranged in a row along the side edges of the interlocking planks such that the longitudinal axes of the interlocking planks are generally parallel to one another. Each tongue portion of a first side edge of an interlocking plank adjacent a second side edge of an interlocking plank is slidably inserted into the elongate channel of the adjacent interlocking plank.
