New wrap around deck. Under that is the patio.
How to convert patio under the deck into a she shed?
The patio floor to deck is 8-9 ft. We just had the deck replaced with cedar. The patio underneath deck is open on 2 sides. I want to convert it to a 'She-shed' but worry about things getting wet when it rains/ snows, from the deck flooring. The floor is concrete but some water pools on one side when it rains or when I use the hose. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.
The left side patio is where I plan a project.
Elvie,
You can buy under deck drainage systems designed to be attached to the floor joists of your deck. They will channel any water to the edge of the deck. You will have to figure out a way to manage the water from there depending on what is around the edge of the deck on the ground.
There are systems like Seth said. I used cement siding to cover the underside of a small deck. I didn't enclose with walls on the patio. The joists under the deck need to have a slope and then I should have add plastic and then the siding. I left a 2" drip area and used attic venting strips to keep the bees out from under the deck.
Hi Elvie! Here are some links for your to look at....best wishes!
