Deck Builder Notes- Maintenance

If your deck is not very high off the ground: clutter, leaves, and miscellaneous debris could build up under the deck.  This build up can lead to the wood deteriorating over time because air circulation is diminished, especially in an area that has lots of rain or other issues that prohibit natural drying out of the lumber.  The two decks I saw that this pertained to were built long ago and were only 1.5 feet off the ground.
