I don't follow.
Where is this decking?
Why do you need to put your awning on it?

Other than that, screw-eyes in the wood and clip it down

Can you not use straps or thick cord around the decking boards instead of screwing into the wood. ?

If there are spaces between the decking planks I would make some upside down ' J ' hooks , or roofing hooks, slot these between the planks , turn 90 degrees, that's what I did to a neighbours gazeebo.

On our seasonal site all of the vans have decking due to being on a hill. The vast majority of people have used j hooks to secure their awnings to the decking.

Some tie down rings might be the answer

Edit:

the link doesn't want to work so URL below:
