Deck Outdoor Living Space Under Deck IDEAS (Waterproof Cover)

Many homes have a Deck. Very few decks are waterproof though. Waterproofing your deck could be the best ways to create an Outdoor Living Space for your Outdoor Area. Under your waterproof deck you could create all of the traditional Outdoor Living highlights. You could create an Outdoor Fireplace, an Outdoor Kitchen, Outdoor Bar, really almost any Outdoor Living items that you can think of.
We use the Trex RainEscape to create many of our Outdoor Living Spaces under Decks. The results are beautiful underdeck living spaces. The Trex Rain Escape is pretty to install but does require that the top deck boards be removed prior to installation of the Trex RainEscape. This system has built in gutters as you will see in the video.

We also use PVC Deck Membranes. These Membranes could be walkable or under the deck itself. The advantage of the walk-able PVC Membranes is the expense. You would not need to do anything on top of the membrane like the deck boards or solid surface.

Another Deck Ceiling is the Aluminum Waterproof Ceiling. These would be my least favorite system although they may be the best system for the budget.

Another thing I want to say about creating an Underdeck Outdoor Living Space is you really create two spaces. One on top of the deck and one under the deck. This really gives you two unique spaces for really the price of one.

We are happy to answer questions - help design/build any & all unique Underdeck Outdoor Living Spaces. Have you seen the latest 2020 landscapes in our Portfolio? It’s pretty interesting to see the before and after photos in each one. See other backyards reversed and transformed.

We are almost finished with our backyard living space, the final piece is the water flow off the uncovered deck above the kitchen. Several attempts have been made to waterproof using DIY under decking. Need advice on how to waterproof and where to run the gutters. Unfortunately, the design was not done ahead of time and now we're scrambling (we did hire a contractor, but here we are...)

Great Video. I am not sure how I missed this one when it came out. Thank you

Do you have a link for the walkable waterproof pvc flooring shown?

[xiaohan]

Love the videos, gives great ideas and advice. Could you please do a video on shades, screening and outdoor curtains for decks and outdoor areas. Thanks

At the 5:23 minute mark with the TREX RainEscape deck...once the upper deck is sealed, where does the water go from the gutter system? Also, what type of decking material (composite? pvc?) is used in that same house installation? Or what decking is recommended.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Awesome video totally gives me inspiration to get my area done. Do you know where I can find that walkable membrane?

[fieldtrailer]

6:00 min mark. Looks like they overlapped the membrane incorrectly. The upper piece should be over the top of bottom section. Like shingles.

Beautiful work! Is there a slight incline to the upper side of the deck, to drain waterfall?

[fongcha]

How thick is the beam that allowed you to get away with a few post?

[joyfaith]

How do you get the lighting in the brick footing for the deck posts?

I like the beefier wood post designs with stone/brick wrap. Any opinion on those?

[illmatic]

What of the deck is already built? How do we approach adding something to catch the water coming through the gaps and redirecting the water...

[nelson]

How much does it cost to have the horizontal cable railing in comparison to standard railing?

[bwedesign]

Great video! What were those heaters in the last example?
