Still on memory lane row, I found these pictures of a deck in Ventura with an ocean front exposure (at about 200' above sea level, but not fog level)that are of a metal lath coating, brand unknown, with a rusted out lath. This deck system has no waterproofing apparent, no fiberglass, no seal guard, nothing, just relying on slope to run water off before it could percolate down...it didn't work.

Walking deck systems are the best choice when looking for lasting solutions for your new deck. Many of our visitors want an alternative to a wood or composite deck. Walking decks give you many advantages! Class A fire retardant, these systems have many decorative choices. Longer life, lower maintenance, lower total cost of ownership. You'll be the envy of the block. Read our free information on roof decking systems. Find information on railings, tile decks, deck lighting and more.
