The Trex RainEscape above-joist deck drainage system creates a dry space beneath the deck that is suitable for the installation of deck lighting, ceiling fans and finished ceilings. Unlike competitive products, which make use of under-joist technology, Trex RainEscape shields the joists, protecting them from water damage and deterioration that may occur over time, while also creating additional usable outdoor living space below the deck.
