Deck over wrap around porch, how to drain water?
I am building a wrap around porch and am going to incorporate a deck over the entire porch. The porch will be about 30 feet long where it attaches to the house. The ceiling will be beadboard and I would like to encorporate several decorative items like exposed rafter tails made of cedar, and heavy posts of stained cedar and trimmed nicely. The deck will likely be the man made composite EON. The biggest issue is water drainage from the deck. I’ve seen other posts suggesting a metal roof under the deck for drainage or even using modified bitumen membranes. I’m concerned about quality and longevity of construction. This is a very upscale house on a golf course. I am in a HOA and will be presenting my intentions for approval. Any thoughts on solving the water drainage problem?
