I am building a deck that is above a two car garage. The garage roof/deck floor is framed with PT paralams and PT joists. I am looking for a deck floor solution that will be low maintenance and keep the water from dripping through to the garage. At first we consisdered metal deck and concrete with a traffic coating, but this is costly. Any ideas?

The water should be allowed to pass through the deck. Put a roof beneath it. Membrane roofing is what's usually used in this area. Design so as to limit the points of attachment to the roof area, because these points must be very carefully sealed and are the most likely source of problems.
