I know you said you didn't want to introduce a slope but even a slight one will be enough to run off the water. I had to do the same with my place and unless you're laying on the floor you wouldn't notice.
Are the boards going to be butted up against each other or any spaces in between?

I hadn't even thought of that. Even a shallow run off of 1.5° is going to be ~8cm height difference over 3m, and that's going to look weird.

I'm building a deck for my garden office and am wondering about a slope for drainage. The boards will be grooved composite and run parallel to the office. I was going to have it slope slightly away from the office ie perpendicular as the garden naturally slopes anyway, but am wondering if I will have a standing water problem in the grooves since they will be level in their orientation? I don't really want to introduce a slope in that direction as it would be an eye sore.
