Design details are difficult as it relates to putting a roof on the screened room that won't leak rain from the cedar deck above. Not sure how to design it to get approval and meet building codes. DO NOT want to remove deck or put in solid floor on upper deck.
We have a huge deck with a patio under it , we are wanting to screen it in. How do you keep rain from coming through the deck , what roofing would you use for the screened patio or do we need to put a waterproof material on the deck?
The deck and screen porch were designed and implemented by Colette and Co. You can contact Colette: colette@coletteandcompany.com. I believe its common to install and underdeck drain to accomplish this, but, in my experience, you are correct, there are lots of gotchas as it relates to building permits
