View Full Version : Under the deck!

My added on bedroom and deck were built on 4 x 4 posts. The rainwwater from the deck is running underneath and erroding the dirt. I'm concerned in time it will affect the support of the posts. What can I put under the deck to direct the water away from both the bedroom and the deck. Thanks.

You might try using 6 mil black plastic and covering it with rock. Just make sure there is plenty of slope to divert the water out from under the deck and AWAY from the house.
