An outdoor floor covering includes a plurality of planks, a plurality of bases, and at least a fastening element. A positioning portion of each base is slidably disposed in a sliding groove of each plank. Adjacent ones of first sidewall surfaces of the bases are engaged with each other through engaging portions. Adjacent ones of second sidewall surfaces of the bases abut against each other through protruding and dent portions. At least a fastening element is engaged and connected between adjacent ones of the second sidewall surfaces of the bases. Hence, the outdoor floor covering of the present invention enables quick assembly and prevents the planks and bases from undergoing displacement horizontally or vertically. Accordingly, the outdoor floor covering is quick and convenient to lay, exhibits satisfactory structural stability, and enhances pedestrian safety. |

1. An outdoor floor covering, comprising:
a plurality of planks, wherein a sliding groove is disposed at a bottom of each said plank; a plurality of bases each having a top surface, a bottom surface, two opposing first sidewall surfaces, two opposing second sidewall surfaces, and an engaging groove, wherein the top surface has a positioning portion penetrating the sliding groove, wherein the first sidewall surfaces each have a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion, wherein adjacent ones of the first sidewall surfaces of the bases are engaged with each other through the first and second engaging portions, wherein the second sidewall surfaces each have a protruding portion, a dent portion, and a snap-engaging portion, wherein adjacent ones of the second sidewall surfaces of the bases mesh with each other through the protruding and dent portions, wherein the snap-engaging portions are adjacent to the protruding and dent portions, respectively, and each have a ramp, wherein the engaging grooves are each adjacent to a corresponding one of the dent portions and formed between a terminal end of the dent portion and the snap-engaging portions; and at least a fastening element engaged and connected between adjacent ones of the second sidewalls of the bases, wherein at least a said fastening element has a bottom wall, two endwalls, and a hook-engaging wall, wherein the endwalls extend from two ends of the bottom wall and toward the snap-engaging portions of the bases and each have a ramp, wherein the ramps of the endwalls abut against and align with the ramps of the snap-engaging portions, respectively, wherein the hook-engaging wall is disposed between the endwalls, extends from a side of the bottom wall toward the protruding and dent portions of the bases, and forms a hook portion at a terminal end of the hook-engaging wall, wherein the hook portion is hook-engaged with the engaging groove, wherein the bottom wall, the endwalls, and the hook-engaging wall define a snap-engaging slot for receiving the snap-engaging portions of the planks. |
