I want to build a second floor deck out from the end of the cabin I plan to put up. Mosquitoes will carry you away from this property near some low water adjoining a river, so I want to have a screened in area on the first level under the deck WHAT I am wondering is, WHAT kind of floor would I put on the deck so that we could walk on it, and it would drain water off the end of it, but not to the screen room below. Ideas please??
Thanks
I have seen the corrugated plastic stuff (the real thin stuff) nailed up under the deck so the rain can't fall into the area below.
Outdoor carpet has been used. Possibly marine grade plywood underneath, if needed.
There is a 3 or 4 part acrylic deck material that floor contractors do on apartment balconies around here. Apparently it is almost impossible for it to leak. Motels use some kind of light weight concrete or something outside too.
I guess that was not a lot of help except we know that it exists. :-/
PEG did a waterproof deck now that I think about it. Here you go - PEG's Deck (http://www.countryplans.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1134275934)
Here's a photo with the rail system . Not a cheap roof but it's also a deck :)
Not really a DTY project unless your pretty handy lots of prep work for the hardi brd , the product it self isn't that hard to lay from what I saw.
