Have you heard of Underdecking?

You’re not alone if you’re not entirely sure what underdecking is! It’s a relatively new term in the home improvement space and it’s taking the market by storm.

Underdecking is an outdoor ceiling system, or a ceiling beneath a second-level deck. Underdecking systems provide drainage for multi-level, raised, and/or elevated decks as well as a nice finishing touch to outdoor living spaces. They’re great additions for homeowners in Michigan who have a lot of rain and snow-melt drainage.

Why Do I Need an Underdeck System?

Underdeck systems provide homeowners with attractive, architectural solutions to help drain the water and dirt that seep through second-level decks. The improved drainage helps to keep lower level spaces cleaner and drier while also ensuring water drainage is carried away from the home reducing changes of flooding and damage.
Underdecking can be installed on existing decks as well as brand new decks. It is installed using removable panels that allow for easy access. They’re made from exterior grade PVC so they are colorfast, easy to clean, and allow you to stain your deck above without having to remove the underdeck panels. The material is also so durable that they won’t fade, mold, or rust.

Underdecking can also provide for a cozier, more finished look and feel for the lower-level space beneath a raised deck. You’ll no longer have to look up at dirty, unfinished beams and spiderwebs when enjoying your outdoor space!
