Grand Rapids, Mich. — National Nail’s CAMO brand of tools and fasteners for deck builders has partnered with the North American Deck & Railing Association (NADRA) to support Deck Safety Month in May. As a NADRA Deck Safety Month ambassador, CAMO encourages homeowners to inspect their decks and check for safety issues before planning outdoor activities. While decks are perfect for gathering with loved ones, poorly maintained or unsafe decks could cause severe injuries to you and your guests.
“Our number one priority is to ensure that decks are safe for homeowners and that they’re built to last,” says W. Scott Baker, CEO of National Nail. “Adhering to building codes and conducting yearly inspections and maintenance are essential to maintaining safe outdoor living spaces.”
“Your roof has a life expectancy. Your windows have a life expectancy. What about your deck?” says Michael Beaudry, executive vice president of NADRA. “With more than 60 million decks in the U.S., it is estimated that 30 million decks are past their useful life and need to be replaced or repaired.”
NADRA’s free “10-Point Consumer Safety Checklist” is an efficient way to take a good look at the different parts of the deck for possible maintenance, repair, or replacement.
