DECKING
TREX RAINESCAPE
Outdoor space and ample storage are among the most sought-after amenities by today ’ s homeowners . In both cases , the area beneath an elevated deck can be turned into either of these in-demand features with the simple addition of an under-deck drainage system , like Trex ® RainEscape ® .
Trex ® RainEscape ® uses an integrated network of troughs and downspouts that work together to capture rain , dew and other precipitation and funnel it away from a deck . Unlike other systems that install below the joists of a deck , leaving wood and metal exposed to the elements , Trex RainEscape installs above the joists . The main advantage of this type of system is that it protects the entire substructure from water damage and deterioration , while keeping the space underneath dry and usable .
Once protected , the space beneath a deck can be enclosed for storing gardening equipment , toys and yard games , or outfitted with furnishings and accessories to create an outdoor room . Gas and electrical lines can be safely and discreetly run between the deck surface and a soffit ceiling below to power lighting , ceiling fans , grills , appliances , electrical components and more .
Trex RainEscape is easy and efficient to install . The entire system includes just five SKUs and only three tools – a utility knife , staple gun , and caulk – are needed for installation . The process takes no more than a few hours to complete , and the system is backed by a 25-year warranty .
