What happens to the leaves and debris that fall through the cracks of the deck?
The Classic Designer Ceiling is engineered to solve this problem. The unique, rounded shape of the channels causes debris to settle into the lowest point of the channel, the bottom-center. Likewise, the flow of rainwater concentrates here and carries the debris out of the ceiling in natural fashion. Although the ceiling is engineered to be maintenance free, some sedimentation may accumulate in the six-inch front gutter. This gutter is open and easily accessible for occasional rinsing with a garden hose. The DRY-TOP Flat Panel system will drain water freely but some debris may accumulate which will need to be flushed periodically. How often depends on the width of the space between deck boards and the amount of debris that falls on the deck.
