If you’re like me you want more for the area under your deck. My builder’s-grade deck was pleasant but there was so much room underneath that was wasted space. Also, it wasn’t graded so anytime we did go under there, we dealt with the soupy, muddy mess. Even storing the lawnmower underneath was not waterproof so it left the equipment wet and rusting.
That inspired me to shop for options to convert my under deck area to get more use and functionality out of the area. I shopped extensively and landed on the Zip-Up under deck drainage system from Decks Direct. I reached out to them and gave them the square footage. In 10 days, I had everything I needed to start the project.
I installed the entire under deck ceiling in one weekend (which included a tornado warning) but the under deck ceiling left me dry allowing me to complete installation and finish the job.
We are very happy with this solution. We added some couches and a new pellet grill allowing us to sit, eat, and watch the rain. If you’re looking for a way to maximize the area under your deck, maybe this under deck drainage system is just what you’re looking for.
