Here is a DIY Under Deck Roof and Drainage System Part 1

I’m here with my parents to show you how to install a DIY under deck roof and drainage system part 1. We’ve just enclosed the patio underneath our deck (see How to Screen in a Porch or Patio – August 17, 2018) to make it insect-free. Now, we’re making it waterproof (or moisture resistant) so that we can enjoy the space even when it rains!  This is a great DIY project to do with friends or family. This job includes handling bulky materials so (for safety reasons) it’s not a one-person job.

It looks so neat and clean!

I love tidy spaces. I don’t think that looking at the underside of a deck is the most pleasing view. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to look at while you’re building it but seems thoroughly unfinished if you’re trying to do some living there. That’s why this project is so great for those of us who want to enjoy the outdoors on a rainy day and gain use-able square footage. This under deck system looks and performs professionally. If you follow my guidelines and materials list :Under Deck Supply List you will get the same professional results from your project too. You can view this list by going to my website: www.reneeromeo.com, clicking on CONSTRUCTION and downloading it from the commentary below the video.

An Inexpensive DIY under deck roof and drainage system is what you’ll have…

ALL of the materials used on this project are easily available at your local big box store. None of the supplies or materials are expensive. You only need one specialty tool to cut the roofing material but it’s an inexpensive item that you can use again and again. So, if you can use a cordless (or electric) screwdriver or drill , you can do this project! Expect to gain valuable outdoor living space that won’t break the bank. You’ll be so happy with the results.
