Construction Issue - Rain Splash & My Door

I am trying to find an aesthetically pleasing solution. I have a double French style patio door leading from the formal dining room to a deck. The deck is at the same level as the main house floor so only the threshold is higher. It has been suggested that I cut and remove portions of three or four of the Treks decking and replace it with steel grid. This is so most of the rain will fall through rather splash on the door. Now I can possibly see using aluminum for maintenance reasons but . . .

The deck leads to my pool/entertainment area so other considerations would include bare feet, occassionally heels (no I don't wear them ) some occassional inebriated travel, etc.

Has anyone else seen or used some other type of solution?
