Drainage under a deck can be performed by a structure that includes
hanging components and corrugated panels. For example, a hanging
component can have connected first and second portions, with the first
portion being connected to hang from one of the joists and extending
downward to where it connects to the second portion, which is below the
joist. The second portion can be connected to support of at least one of
the panels from above. The upper surfaces of panels are sloped so that
drainage occurs from a high part to a low part. The direction of slope
and the direction of corrugations are not perpendicular, and can be
approximately the same. The hanging components can, for example, be
L-shaped brackets, U-shaped, or inverted T-shaped, and can be integrally
formed by extrusion of plastic or can be metal. The panels can be
corrugated plastic or metal sheets.
