The Basics
Step 1 - UnderDeck Pitch Rail by ZipUP
The UnderDeck Pitch Rail by ZipUP creates the foundation of the entire ZipUP system. These rails form the pitch that directs water away from your home. The system works by creating a 1/6" slope per foot (sloping a half an inch every 3 feet). These dense PVC Pitch Rails will provide ultimate stability without risk of rot. Pitch Rails can be stacked to create the desired angle.
Step 2 - UnderDeck Wall Trim By ZipUP
Once the ZipUP UnderDeck Pitch Rails are installed, the next step is to attach Wall Trim to the ledger board and the outside rim joists. The Wall Trim follows the slope of the Pitch Rails that attach with standard deck screws every 12 inches.

Step 3 - UnderDeck Main Rail By ZipUP
The ZipUP UnderDeck Main Rails are a crucial part to creating a watertight ceiling system. The rails are made out of PVC and come in both 12 foot and 16 foot lengths. The Main Rails attach to the Pitch Rails with standard deck screws and have a specially-designed channel that creates a watertight seal with the ZipUP Panels.

Step 4 - UnderDeck Panel By ZipUP
The UnderDeck Panel By ZipUP snaps securely in place with the Main Rail to form a watertight seal and channel water through the ZipUP UnderDeck System. The panel finishes are serrated or pebble, both of which deflect light without being glossy, and can be painted. The panels can be easily removed and replaced if needed.
Optional - UnderDeck Seam Trim By ZipUP
For a deck deeper than 16 feet, using UnderDeck Seam Trim By ZipUP provides a cap at the end of Main Rails and Panels, and allows for another section to be installed. This item is only needed if the deck depth exceeds 16 feet.
