I’ve seen decks in the Napa area build with a solid deck surface, I assume for fire resistance.
Now I’m selling a deck to be waterproof below (as a carport). Would prefer to skip membrane/sleepers/decking and go with solid surface.
I’ve been to the Rauum site, but I’m looking for more products to choose from.
Any input will be appreciated.

If the deck is covered and out of alot of direct sunlight I like t&g douglas fir. I've planed out the floor joist nice and level, then nail directly to the joist. Sand, seal, and love it.
Look at this. I'm doing one next month for my kid.

Hey thanks, that's the stuff.
I had some trouble finding a local source on their website. Also a photo of the finished product for presentation would be good. I submitted a query but if you can give me a lead, that would be cool.
Thanks very much.
