Thanks, I'll dig into that. Sorry for not responding sooner, computer went wacky and had Geek Squad do the remote tune-up.
I've never used it, but I can't see how this won't be a big ice dam at certain weather conditions. It's a huge gutter basically. I sure do like the idea of it!
Yeah, that aspect is going to take some research. May have to get creative for it to function. Luckily, about the last part of the deck so it'll get figured out.
I have seen some guy's screw roof metal (pole barn type) to pitched "sleepers" under a deck before. That stuff is pretty stout and might at least support the inevitable ice. You can at least screw the heck out of it for strength.
under my 2nd tier deck I put skyights upside down to keep it dry.. 1.5 inches of pitch over 12 feet bbs brand plastic roofing best grade.. out some strapping every 4 feet lasted 10 years still works..
Yup, something like that is what I'm after. I'll be using flat sheet though, 14g. Corten. Figured if it did dam up and cause a problem, I could hit it with oxy/acet. and it won't be any worse for wear.
