Green Shield decks are specifically designed to make sure drainage is not a problem. Our crews have been trained on proper deck gapping, ventilation, and flashing. Every cut on every deck is made with precision and carefully planned to last a lifetime. You won’t see water pooling on your new Green Shield deck and our rice hull composite deck boards add even more mold and mildew protection.
Deck Drainage
Drainage on a deck is about making sure that water and moisture do not accumulate on the deck boards. As a deck is built proper gapping, ventilation, and flashing will allow for water to drain away from the deck. Decks that do not have proper drainage will quickly decay and can retain moisture allowing mold and mildew to form.
The Green Shield Difference
"Moisture is the enemy of a good deck. That is why every Green Shield forever deck is carefully built with drainage in mind."
