UnderCover Systems® started with just a simple idea and concept. In the early 1990s, two friends were discussing how to use the space located under the deck to keep the space dry and usable. The idea of an interlocking panel system was birthed! Before the underdeck was developed, the only solution was metal roofing or even a type of barn siding. This was ineffective in keeping the area dry and waterproofed. So began an intense journey of research and design to establish UnderCover Systems Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia.
What is an Under deck Ceiling and Drainage System?
UnderCover Systems has become the household name for an underdeck, undercover, under deck ceiling, underdecking, deck ceiling, under deck covering and the plethora of identifiers that all refer to the same thing--a ceiling system that is made up of panels and gutters placed underneath a deck or patio cover to keep the space dry.
An underdeck space was commonly used as storage for lawn equipment because it was unlivable throughout the year due to leaking or unappealing roofing. In the 90s, Tom Stevens, owner of UnderCover Systems, was visiting his friend whose backyard deck overlooked a beautiful golf course. While drinking a cold beer with him on a summer afternoon, his friend told Tom that he dreamt of being able to enjoy the outdoor covered deck year round, if only it would stay dry and looked more appealing to do so.
Tom left his friend's home asking how he could make his friend's outdoor living dream, a reality. So, he started to design a panel system fabricated with some gutters. With his first engineered undercover system made, Tom installed it in his buddy's home. And, they were both wowed by the difference it made. Before he knew it, requests to do the same underdecking started pouring in from friends and family. Little did Tom know, that his work life would change forever and it would develop into a patented product called UnderCover Systems. Now, this unique under deck ceiling and under deck drainage system, is making dreams into realities for homeowners around the nation through its numerous licensed dealers.
