Best flooring for covered porch that DOES get wet

[Angela Justis]

Hi Everyone!

There is so much information here that I couldn't find an answer to my specific question so if I'm duplicating a question somewhere, please feel free to post a link to an existing post!

My issue is I have two covered "porches" on my current house. I've had to replace patches of wood on them three times in the past 12 years and I'm hoping to make my house my first investment property. So, I'm looking for a long-term solution.

My house is off-grade so there is no chance of using concrete slabs or tiles for these areas. I have a covered, screened in front porch that DOES get wet with the Florida storms and it does get plenty of sun but not enough directly to really dry the porch out quickly. The back porch is where my washer and dryer reside and it also gets wet but doesn't get quite as much sun and takes forever to dry. This area is not screened in but I will need to be able to move the washer and dryer around easily without damaging the floor. So, the material I need will need to be sun, water, and scratch resistant but economical. I may be asking for too much! lol

I'm looking for a long-term, low maintenance flooring to use for both of these areas, hopefully the same type of flooring to make things simple.

I'd rather not use decking planks as I don't want bugs coming up into the porches and it would make it difficult to move the washer and dryer around.

Anyone have any recommendations on the best flooring to use in these areas? 

I've already used plywood and OSB but both are now warped and virtually rotten. So, neither will work in these areas unless you know of some way of completely waterproofing them.
