What to Know
This deck was built to improve the space above and protect the space below
A 10x20 deck can create a strong outdoor living platform, but this project needed more than a finished surface. The RainGuard system was included so rain would not simply pass through the deck boards onto the floor below. That changes the value of the whole build because both levels of the space become easier to use.
Lower area protection
RainGuard helps direct water away from the lower floor area instead of letting every storm drain through the deck.
Coordinated structure
Framing, drainage, stairs, and railing layout have to work together so the finished project feels intentional.
Project Fit & Execution
Why the RainGuard system matters on a raised deck
When a deck sits above another floor or usable lower area, rain protection becomes part of the project value. Without a dry-space system, water passes through the deck surface and limits what can happen below. On this build, the RainGuard system was planned with the Trex Pebble Beach surface so the upper deck and lower protected area work together. That means the estimate conversation has to cover more than square footage. Framing, slope, water movement, drainage path, railing layout, stairs, and the finished surface all need to be coordinated before the build starts.
How We Work
How a Trex Pebble Beach deck with RainGuard comes together
Review the upper and lower use
Start with the 10x20 footprint, door location, lower floor area, stairs, railing needs, and how rain should be managed.
Coordinate decking and dry protection
Plan the Trex Pebble Beach boards, framing, drainage slope, and RainGuard system before finish details are locked in.
Build for both levels
Complete the deck surface, railings, stairs, and under-deck protection so the top and lower area feel like one planned project.
Budget and Scope
Deck pricing depends on structure, access, railings, and finish choices.
A deck estimate is not only a square-foot number. The final price depends on height, footings, framing spans, stairs, railing system, composite versus treated decking, skirting, lighting, demolition, and how cleanly the deck needs to transition from the house into the yard.
Pressure-treated deck planning range
Many straightforward pressure-treated deck projects start in the $45 to $65 per square foot range before unusual access, stairs, railing upgrades, or demolition are added.
Composite deck planning range
Composite and Trex-style decks commonly land in the $75 to $110+ per square foot range because the finish boards, hidden fasteners, railings, trim, and detail work raise the scope.
What changes the number
Stairs, RainGuard or dry-space systems, drink rails, picture framing, permits, ledger conditions, height, and poor access can move the price faster than the deck surface itself.
These are planning ranges, not a final proposal. Battlefield Services prices the actual layout, materials, access, and site conditions after reviewing the project.

FAQs
Questions homeowners ask before starting a Trex deck with dry-space protection
What is included in a 10x20 Trex Pebble Beach deck estimate?
A real estimate should account for the deck footprint, height, framing, stairs, railing style, Trex Pebble Beach decking, trim details, access, demolition if needed, and whether a RainGuard or similar dry-space system is part of the scope.
Why add RainGuard under a deck?
RainGuard helps protect the area below the deck by managing water that would otherwise pass through the deck boards. It is useful when the lower floor, patio, storage, or outdoor living area needs rain protection.
Is Trex Pebble Beach a good choice for a lower-maintenance deck?
Trex Pebble Beach gives homeowners a lighter composite decking option with a cleaner upkeep story than traditional wood. The right choice still depends on the house, trim, railing selection, budget, and how the deck will be used.
