Porches & Decks Design Dilemma Exterior

Under Deck Drainage/Roofing

8 years ago

We completed our deck and have decided to put a patio underneath. It seems there isn’t much info on under deck systems. I do see you can choose from vinyl, aluminum, etc....however have no idea where to start. I would love any information as we start this process! Thank you!

IMO it is best to make the top deck water proof with proper drainage . What do you have on the top deck?
