If the boards were pulled up and replaced with plywood how would you water proof that surface ? Yes I put a 4 ' level on the deck and it does have a slight pitch away from the house . Maybe a better idea is to just put a storage shed under the two sections . It just seems like a huge waste of space but I don't want to ruin the floor joists .

I'd increase the pitch by doing what I suggested in the other post and leave the ends open so air can flow. Use treated lumber when attaching to the sides of the existing joists. If you can get the fiberglass panels cheap enough, I'd give it a go rather than spend the money on a storage shed.
