Dry Below


Any of you guys used any dry below products? What did you use, how long did it take, was it a pain in the butt, did it work right? I have some people interested in having a finished ceiling under thier deck and wanted to know what was easy to work with. So I can finish thier bid. Thanks ahead of time for anyones input.

Re: Dry Below


i have used dry space brand several times. i beleave this is similar to dry below. it is a pain, and has to be installed just right in order not to leak. the most importand thing i found was to keep your joist straight and use bridgeing to keep the spaceing consistent. also it is not cheap so add up your material correctly.

Re: Dry Below


Robert,
I have used underdeck and Rain Escape. Rain Escape is right in your back yard. It works pretty well, material will cost you $5-6/sq ft. On a new deck it is pretty easy.
Dry Below is a Franchise. The guy in my area was really Pi$$ed when he found out that we are selling Underdeck and didn't have to spend $$$ to by a Territory.
I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't even speak to me.

Re: Dry Below


I think because of my extensive siding background I tend to use different types of metal siding for that application. So far it seems to be more cost effective, though I haven't researched other products in depth...
