Trex RainEscape transforms the space beneath an elevated deck into the perfect place for keeping holiday home essentials safe and dry while not in use.
Whatever the design or size of a holiday home, functional storage space is always in high demand.
For homes, caravans or lodges with an elevated deck, the innovative Trex RainEscape drainage system is the perfect way to turn what is usually dead, unusable space into a flexible area for storing everything from sports equipment to gardening supplies.
Trex RainEscape is a network of troughs and downspouts installed above the joists of a deck’s substructure and below the decking boards.
The system captures and diverts water away from the deck, creating a space beneath it that stays completely dry and protected from rain and snow, while also preventing moisture damage to the deck substructure.
It is compatible with any type of decking material, including composite, timber or PVC, and can be installed on new decks or added to an existing deck during resurfacing before the new deck boards are fastened.
Dave Kile, decking expert and owner of the company behind Trex RainEscape, said: “No matter how roomy your holiday lodge is, storage space for the things we tend to keep in a shed or garage when at home is always at a premium.
“From keeping outdoor furniture dry and clean when not in use to tucking away bikes, seasonal toys, barbecue equipment or even wood for the firepit, RainEscape creates the ideal space for things you use on or around your deck, or that you want to store during the off-season.
“Once it’s been installed, you can customise the space with cabinets, shelves, hooks or storage boxes, or just leave it as it is, safe in the knowledge anything kept there will stay dry and protected from the weather.”
Trex RainEscape troughs and downspouts are made from durable polyethylene.
Backed by a 25-year warranty, the system is straightforward to fit, with full written instructions provided and videos showing each stage of the installation process available online.
