I am wondering how the ventilation works? Otherwise, wood would be rot from bottom.

    Area is excavated under deck structure, with drainage. Concrete curbs retain soil. Ventilation through deck gaps.

    What kind of stain do you use for the cedar? Brand and color?

    The decking is Ipe' wood. The house siding is cedar. I don't know the stain.

    What do you mean "with drainage"? Does it just infiltrate or do you have the water conveyed out through perf pipe or something?

    I'm trying to do something similar with my backyard patio, was wondering what kind of waterproofing is used, if any, on the soil side of the retaining wall. Thanks!

    Typically we use an asphaltic type of foundation water proofing along with drainage piping and drain rock.
