A panel attachment system ( 10 ) comprising a plurality of covering panels ( 12 ), a plurality of retaining members ( 16 ) to hold the panels ( 12 ), and a plurality of mounting structures ( 18 ) to secure the retaining members ( 16 ) to a surface ( 20 ). The panels ( 12 ) are held to the retaining members ( 16 ) through the use of protruding locking members ( 32 ) formed on the panels ( 12 ) which interlock with a slot ( 48 ) formed on the retaining member ( 16 ). The panels ( 12 ) may be coupled to the retaining members ( 16 ) without the need for precise alignment, thereby expediting the installation of the surface ( 20 ). The retaining members ( 16 ) additionally contain a drainage channel ( 50 ) to carry water and other debris away from the surface ( 20 ).
