A method for mounting an anchor bracket between two spaced-apart boards, the steps comprising: providing an anchor bracket having a planar first leg configured and dimensioned so that it can be inserted between the two spaced-apart boards, said first leg having a first end and an opposite second end; a planar second leg disposed parallel and offset relative to said first leg, said second leg having a first end and an opposite second end; a planar medial shank disposed between and generally perpendicular to said first and second legs, said medial shank having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein said first end of said medial shank is connected to said first end of said second leg, and said second end of said medial shank is connected to said second end of said first leg, said medial shank being configured and dimensioned so that it can be inserted between the two spaced-apart boards; and means for releasably anchoring an item to said anchor bracket attached to said second leg comprising a hook and an elastic bungee-type cord having two ends, with a hook provided at each end; wherein said anchor bracket is movable between an insertion/withdrawal position and a mounted anchoring position, wherein in said insertion/withdrawal position said first leg is insertable between the spaced-apart boards and in said anchoring position said medial shank is positioned between the boards and said anchor bracket is pivotable about 90 degrees so that said first leg is disposed beneath and abuts one of the spaced-apart boards, and said second leg overlies and abuts the other of the spaced-apart boards;inserting said second end of said first leg between the two spaced-apart boards of the deck until said medial shank overlies and abuts one of the spaced-apart boards of the deck; androtating said second end of said second leg about 90 degrees until said first leg is disposed beneath and abuts one of the spaced-apart boards of the deck, with said medial shank disposed between the two spaced-apart boards of the deck, and said second leg overlying and abutting the other of the spaced-apart boards of the deck. 8. The method according to claim 7, including the step of anchoring an object to the anchor bracket. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein said means for anchoring comprises an L-shaped hook on said second end of said second leg, and wherein said method comprises the additional step of: anchoring said anchor bracket to an object by hooking one hooked end of said elastic bungee-type cord on said L-shaped hook of said anchor bracket, and hooking the opposite hooked end of said elastic bungee-type cord to said object. 10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising: providing a second anchor bracket releasably securable between two spaced-apart, generally planar boards, comprising a planar first leg configured and dimensioned so that it can be inserted between the two spaced-apart boards, said first leg having a first end and an opposite second end;a planar second leg disposed parallel and offset relative to said first leg, said second leg having a first end, an opposite second end, and at least one opening extending therethrough;a planar medial shank disposed between and generally perpendicular to said first and second legs, said medial shank having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein said first end of said medial shank is connected to said first end of said second leg, and said second end of said medial shank is connected to said second end of said first leg, said medial shank being configured and dimensioned so that it can be inserted between the two spaced-apart boards; andmeans for releasably anchoring an object attached to said second leg comprising a fastener which is securable to said anchor bracket via said opening for releasably anchoring an object to said bracket and wherein said method comprises the additional step of:securing said fastener to said anchor bracket via said opening in said second leg and securing said fastener to said object. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein said fastener comprises a bolt and a nut, and said additional step of anchoring said anchor bracket to an object comprises the steps of: placing said bolt through said opening in said second leg and through an opening in said object and tightening said nut on said bolt to secure the object to said anchor. 12.
