If you have a two-story home or a walk-out basement, the space under your elevated deck is often wasted space that gets soaked every time it rains.

By combining engineered drainage with low-maintenance finished details, you can turn that damp area into a fully functional, dry outdoor patio. Here is how we build under-deck living spaces at TrueCraft:

Catch the Water with TimberTech DrySpace: We install the TimberTech DrySpace system directly to the joists under your deck. It collects water draining through the deck boards and channels it away into a clean gutter system, keeping the area below 100% dry.
Elevate the Structural Posts: Instead of leaving bare treated posts exposed, we encase structural supports with high-end INTEX post wraps. These deliver a crisp, low-maintenance architectural finish that matches your home’s trim.
Complete the Perimeter with RDI Railing: We finish upper levels and stairways with high-performance RDI Railing systems—providing clear sightlines, maximum safety, and a clean style that elevates your entire home.
Create a Multi-Zone Outdoor Retreat: Once the area underneath is dry and protected, you can add outdoor furniture, lighting, ceiling fans, or outdoor TVs without worrying about rain damage.

Don’t let half of your backyard footprint go to waste. Contact TrueCraft Decking to discuss how we can engineer a dry, custom outdoor living space tailored to your home.
