Underdeck Systems

A secluded, outdoor space right under your deck

Decks are a wonderful luxury, allowing for time spent outside with the convenience of home close at hand. However, we all know that the weather doesn’t always allow for social gatherings or using one’s appliances--such as grills and firepits. That all changed one day in 1990, when two men were lamenting over such problems on a rainy day in Atlanta, GA that sparked an idea.

Underdeck systems were designed to keep the space below the deck dry during inclimate weather. This product is especially useful if your home has a second-story deck, catching the water and debris that slips through decking boards and would otherwise drain to the ground below. This makes it possible to use an outdoor space even during wet weather while protecting the concrete or patio material below from mold or mildew in a space where wind and sun can’t easily reach.

Choosing the right underdeck system for you

As with most home improvement products on the market today, the goal is to better the quality of life for the people who purchase it. With wonderful functionality and customizability, underdeck systems allow you to choose the color and material that works best for you and your home.

Options for the majority of underdeck systems are:

• Aluminum
• Vinyl
• Galvanized steel

The majority of homeowners typically trust the strength and durability of aluminum, a metal that is used in all manner of household items and appliances. The material doesn’t rust quickly, and is resistant to strong heat and tough winds--and the debris they may carry. Other materials have other benefits that may be more appealing to you and your home specifically. For instance, vinyl is a relatively cost-effective synthetic material, which may be best if the deck is of substantial size.
