If you have an elevated deck in Montgomery County or Fairfax County, the space beneath it is probably wasted. Rain pours through the decking above, leaving a muddy, exposed void where a dry lounge area, storage space, or fully finished outdoor room could exist. Design Builders has been solving this problem for homeowners across Maryland and Northern Virginia since 2006 — and one of the solutions we install and evaluate regularly is the ZipUP UnderDeck Dry Deck System, a vinyl panel drainage solution that diverts rainwater away from the space below and converts dead square footage into usable outdoor living area.
We install multiple dry deck systems, including our own. This review reflects what we've learned from real projects — so you can choose the right solution for your home, not just the most popular one.
