What to use under deck to make a shed?

[Raven]

300 bucks but it'll shed the water for ya...at least on the portion of the deck
it covers. ...other wise i don't think its feasible unless your gonna buy like pressure treated plywood to channel the water away from underneath.
thats two expensive methods. otherwise you'd have to attach eyebolts to the plate below the joists to run a series of nylon rope's to support a heavy duty tarp that could channel the water away. you didnt mention "what" your wanting to store underneath your deck.

Gardening stuff mostly, I'd probably tarp it all up in the winter anyway. It's a PITA to get the mower, shovels etc... out of the cellar as is.

Thought about a tarp, would be the easiest although I'd like something a bit more permanent...cost is key, spent a small fortune so far.

not sure how high your deck is or it's configuration....nor am I sure of you budget.

What about building a small roof like structure free from the deck under the deck. Just a few rafters, some cladding and shingles, shouldn't be too expensive if you are handy.

"shrink wrap" clear-white or blue, same stuff they use to cover boat's....it's tough and hold's up well.used it under deck's, made frame's out of strapping,pipes, covered it, instance storage. even used it to cover a huge deck one winter for a mason so he was inside nice and warm when he layed the bluestone down on the cement slab.

if you happen to poke a hole in it, all you need to do is take another small pc.of wrap, place it over the hole and heat it with a heat gun ...self sticking.
