LANDSCAPING & EXTERNAL WORKS

TREX RAINESCAPE

Adding a deck to one’s garden is unquestionably one of the best investments a homeowner can make, no matter the size of the garden and with outdoor space being at a premium, it is important to make the most of the space you have.

Storage is a common problem many homeowners suffer with, whether it is storing garden furniture, cushions or some garden tools – we all have items that need to be put away. Yet not everyone has the space for a garden shed.

For years, homeowners, builders and contractors have neglected to take advantage of under-deck spaces. However, it can offer the perfect storage solution for space conscious homeowners. The secret to creating a successful under deck storage system is adding a deck drainage system. Using a network of troughs and downspouts, these systems capture and divert water away from a deck, not only preserving the studwork but also making the area under the deck useable for storage.

For optimal protection and aesthetics, Trex RainEscape offers an above the joist system. It uses an ultra-durable, rubberized membrane that drapes down into each joist bay. The membrane pieces are shaped so that they can be stapled to the top of the joists yet hang lower at one end of the bay to facilitate drainage. When the joists cantilever past a bearer, separate pieces are installed on each side and sloped to direct water to the gutter on the inner face of the beam.
