There are two definitions of "roof deck." In the construction of a roof, the deck is the flat surface attached directly to the rafters, usually made of plywood. Underlayment and shingles are attached to the deck to finish the roof.
The other type of roof deck is also called a rooftop deck. This is a recreation area like a patio that is built on the roof instead of on the ground, usually on a part of the roof that extends from a back or side door of the house.
Rooftop decks can be large or small, and are most commonly made of a wood such as cedar or redwood, though other materials can be used as well.
