Deck Safety is Everyone’s Business!
NADRA’s Deck Safety Campaign creates an opportunity to: Educate. Inspect. Correct; ultimately, helping to prevent injuries and bringing an awareness to the importance of regular deck inspections.
“Your roof has a life expectancy. Your windows have a life expectancy. What about your deck?” Says Michael Beaudry, executive vice president of NADRA. “Consider the snowfall accumulations from just this past year. These heavy loads cause additional stress on outdoor structures and create a need to evaluate. It’s time to Check Your Deck®!”
Each year, NADRA raises awareness about the importance of checking your deck through a national deck safety campaign. Regal ideas is a proud member of NADRA and supports the asssociations initiatives. Check out Nadra.org for a full list of members, builder, remodelers and inspectors.
