ᐅ WPC Decking Board Installation Direction

Hello everyone,

I have a question.

Is it possible to install WPC decking on a covered terrace parallel to the house?
We somehow find that more appealing.

Of course, some water will come onto it from the side.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Regards

Hi, I am currently working on the topic of WPC as well.
You need to plan a slope of about 2% per meter (approximately 1/4 inch per foot) for the terrace. Rainwater or dew should run away from the house, which is not possible if the grooves run parallel to the house.

The slope and the direction of water flow do not match.
I would install it as originally planned.

Does it not matter whether the terrace is covered or not?

Even if the terrace has a roof, the following can still happen.
When it rains heavily, water can splash up from the ground or rain can come in from the side.
What if it freezes overnight in winter and there is some wind?
During the day it will warm up and the ice will melt...
Even with a roof, wind and weather still affect the terrace, although it is somewhat more sheltered.
Should it be a ground-level terrace?
