Under the drip edge at the rake edge so any water that infiltrates will flow over the underlayment protection.

When installing Deck Armor underlayment protection on the deck, which is a breathable, UV-stabilized polypropylene underlayment designed to shed water.
It can breathe so that it does not lock in moisture that can cause damage to the deck or building interior.
Deck Armor deck protection will withstand UV exposure for up to 180 days.
The primary roof covering such as asphalt shingles must be installed over Deck Armor underlayment deck protection against the deck itself.
Remember to always avoid scuffing of the leak barriers.
