Several years ago Lowes had a product that is installed between the joists of a deck, then run to a gutter at the end of the deck.
The whole idea is to have the water travel somewhere else so that, even in foul weather, under the deck is dry and usable.
Anyone know of any brands of this kind of product, or have any reviews or comments?
Thanks.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
I've seen it, but I can't remember the name. It was a vinyl product. One of the yards I used to deal with would get it in on a special order, but even the mfr.'s literature warned against using it in areas that had to stay absolutely dry.
In other words, it leaked. The pix I saw showed a strip, sorta like starter strip for siding, that the pan snapped into, and it looked like the strip would be the major source of leaks.
I did something similar for a client once. I bent up some pans out of coil stock, nailed them between the joists, and used I&W to counterflash over the joist tops and over the nails. We were on 12" centers, don't know if I'd trust wider joist spacing.
This was before ICQ lumber, though, to do it now you'd need to isolate the coil stock from the framing.
Also, my method wouldn't work well for a retrofit.

Might be what I need. Thanks
What a goof! Post #5 is from ME, not neadvadid.Goof!Glenn
in a past home I just hung fiberglass corrugated roofing sheets under the deck. sloped to ensure drainage they worked great and looked good.
