Decks, Patios, Porches and Docks - Solid Surface Over Existing Deck???

Is it possible to put a solid surface over an existing wood deck? The spaces between the existing boards collect acorns, twigs, etc. from the surrounding oak trees. Solid surfaces that have been discussed are indoor/outdoor carpeting, tile, broken tile, etc. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

The indoor/outdoor carpet isn't any worries about, but before you went with tile you'd need to determine that the framing will hold the tile install without cracking due to excessive deflection.

Thank you for your input. I was afraid that the tile wouldn't work because of possible cracking---and that's what I really wanted. It would be so easy to clean the "tree trash" from it.
Now I'm wondering if there is any other material that would do the job.

i don't like the idea of covering wood decking with something like indoor outdoor carpeting. it will just hold the moisture against the wood and cause mold and rot. like the other poster said, a deck is too springy (deflection) to work with tile.

I definitly wouldn't use plywood for the same moisture holding reasons. if you
're willing to go to the expense and bother of tile, why not just replace the deck boards with a composite. there are many products on the market. scan this forum for tips and suggestions.

As for "tree" junk, I assume you mean leaves, buds, hulls, etc. Most composites will clean much easier than wood but you still have to sweep off the leaves unless you wait for a big wind to blow them to your neighbor's property.
