TREX RainEscape Trough

The TREX RainEscape Trough is an essential component for creating a dry, usable space beneath elevated decks. Installed between joists, the trough channels water away from the area below, preventing it from penetrating deck boards and providing an extra layer of protection against moisture damage. Made from durable, waterproof material, the RainEscape Trough seamlessly integrates with the Trex RainEscape system to form a comprehensive under-deck drainage solution, allowing you to enjoy covered areas without exposure to rain or snow.

Installation Tips:

1. Prepare Deck Joists: Ensure the joists are clean and dry. Installing the trough between joists before deck boards are laid will create the best seal.
2. Secure Trough Placement: Position each trough so water flows towards the gutter system. This prevents any pooling or water backflow.
3. Use Trex Butyl Tape: To optimize performance and create a secure seal, apply Trex RainEscape butyl tape at connections.
4. Consistent Pitch: Ensure a gentle slope towards the drainage side to aid efficient water flow.
5. Follow Trex System Instructions: For a seamless installation, use the trough in conjunction with Trex RainEscape downspouts and other drainage components.

Ideal for homeowners seeking additional dry storage or a sheltered outdoor living area, the Trex RainEscape Trough is engineered to withstand various weather conditions while maintaining a sleek, low-profile appearance. Pair it with Trex RainEscape accessories to enhance your deck’s functionality and durability, transforming your under-deck space into a valuable extension of your home.
