Installation Instructions
Deck Drainage System Installation the Easy Way
Basic installation for all DEK Drain® products is simple and straightforward.
Panels are pre-cut for installation on 12″, 16″ and 24″ on-center framing. The unique cut of the panels allows the drainage trough to form automatically during installation. Materials are easily handled by one person with minimal tools (stapler, electric or pneumatic hammer-tacker, sharp scissors, and razor).
No measuring, gauging, sizing or caulking is necessary. Ever.

When Installing a TOPSIDE® System for New Construction
All TOPSIDE® deck drainage system installation is implemented after the posts, beams, and joists are in place, but before the decking is installed.
When Installing an UNDERSIDE® System
Our UNDERSIDE® system is installed to the bottom of the joists on existing decks.

Whether you are a contractor or a homeowner, we’ve taken the frustration and monotony out of deck drainage system installation. Quality materials, detailed instructions, and reliable help always on standby make the job a cinch.
