Hi there! We prefer to use composite decking - mainly Trex, but we have a lot of other options as well. If we are building an under deck area, we typically use an under deck drainage system to help redirect the water. It's important to note that an under deck area will never be 100% water tight, as leakage could happen with heavy rain and wind. Thanks!
