We currently have a deck on the first floor over the garage. It construction is wood with a water proof membrane over, that is now leaking, with carpet that is used on boats over the top. What would be the lightest and best floor covering to use when we re do the deck?

Hi there, I am building a deck which will be level with the ground and enclosed on all sides. I understand this is a big no-no, but it's the design we have envisioned. I'm just wondering what I can do to increase ventilation? The deck will have 300mm clearance from the ground. We are planning on doing 140 x 32mm pine decking. For spacing between boards we were looking at 6-10mm spacing. We will slope the ground towards a drain and connect it to the storm water drain. The ground is a combination of sand and dirt, then 100mm below that is clay. Would we have problems with ventilation? Should we lay down some polythene so all the water will flow into the drain? Is there anything else we could do to increase ventilation? Thank you

Looking for a balustrade design that affect the view in a minimal way. Not interested in glass. But horizontally fixed stainless steel wire. Ultra.tech is the brand.
