Horizontal screen deck drain system, screen deck drain, and method of use

A system, comprising:

• deck sill track portions for a screen enclosure, where two adjacent deck sill track portions form a pair of deck sill track portions;
• a drain device including a U-shaped body having a first side, a second side, a front side, a back side, a top surface extending between the first side and the second side, a screen attaching side perpendicular to the first side and the second side, and an opening that forms a drain port under the top surface and between the first side and the second side, wherein the opening comprises a first side wall on the first side that extends from the front side to the back side below the top surface and a second side wall on the second side that extends from the front side to the back side below the top surface, and wherein the first side wall includes at least one first channel closed on one end to the drain port under the top surface and the second side wall includes at least one second channel closed on one end to the drain port under the top surface;
• and
• concealed fasteners that couple the U-shaped body between and to the pair of deck sill track portions and so that the top surface of the U-shaped body is flush with a top surface of each deck sill track portion of the pair of deck sill track portions.

A method, comprising:

• providing a drain device, wherein the drain device comprises:
• a U-shaped body having a first side, a second side, a front side, a back side, a top surface extending between the first side and the second side, a screen attaching side perpendicular to the first side and the second side, and an opening that forms a drain port under the top surface and between the first side and the second side, wherein the opening comprises a first side wall on the first side that extends from the front side to the back side below the top surface and a second side wall on the second side that extends from the front side to the back side below the top surface, and wherein the first side wall includes at least one first channel closed on one end to the drain port under the top surface and the second side wall includes at least one second channel closed on one end to the drain port under the top surface;
• concealed fasteners that couple the U-shaped body between and to a pair of deck sill track portions such that the top surface of the U-shaped body is flush with a top surface of each deck sill track portion of the pair of deck sill track portions;
• and a groove formed along the screen attaching side of the U-shaped body, the groove to receive an end of a screen to be attached to the pair of deck sill track portions and the U-shaped body;
• and
• installing the drain device between the pair of deck sill track portions.
