Hello All,
I have a deck off of my bedroom which is 12' x 16', the decking is Timber Tech. Below that deck is my deck off of my kitchen.
The Timber Tech is t&g with slots in it for drianage. What could I use the doesn't cost too much for a roof under the bedroom deck to keep the water off of the kitchen deck?
I saw some "Under the Deck Roof" stuff that cost $1,000. That is way too much.
Thanks in advance

UnderDeck, or any similar system is going to cost about $1,000 for the material for a deck that size. Installed properly, it will not leak.

You COULD design your own similar system and use corragated metal or fiberglass roofing that fit between the joists. You would be on your own as far as leaks.
