Under Decks – Is There a Way to Keep Them Dry?   

One of the common pitfalls of creating outdoor spaces under decks is that they can become flooded with rainwater or snowmelt. This not only means that you may not always be able to use your under deck living space, but also that any furniture you keep there might eventually be ruined.

Thankfully, there are underdeck drainage systems that are designed to eliminate leaks and ensure that you can enjoy your under deck living area rain or shine. Before you have just any underdeck drainage system installed, it’s important to know there are two materials commonly used in constructing an underdeck system – vinyl and aluminum.

It’s possible to install a system made with either material for about the same price, but the big differences come in strength and longevity. While both vinyl and aluminum are maintenance free and can resist rot, aluminum doesn’t sag or break as easily as vinyl. Plus, aluminum won’t expand or contract in hot or cold temperatures nearly as much as vinyl does, which means that aluminum systems for spaces under decks aren’t prone to the seam separation leaks that often plague vinyl systems. 

Another common reason that areas under decks are sometimes vulnerable to leaks is that many vinyl systems for under decks aren’t designed to withstand serious storms and often fail. However, innovative aluminum underdeck systems can efficiently drain torrential rain and heavy snowmelt away from your under deck outdoor room while withstanding years of summertime thunderstorms and winter blizzards.

An excellent solution for eliminating leaks under decks is installing a drainage system from InsideOut Underdeck. These aluminum underdeck drain and ceiling systems can handle as much as 15 inches of rain per hour – that’s more than virtually any storm can unleash. Plus, the patented grid system can be outfitted with panels that come in a stunning array of colors and woodgrain finishes, which can help your under deck space look as beautiful as the rest of your home.
