This awareness month was created by the North American Deck and Railing Association, although of course their safety teachings are meant to be heard across the world.
The Association aims to raise awareness of some of the small things which might go unnoticed during the standard, day to day maintenance of a deck.
They encourage homeowners to ensure certain parts of the decking floor have been attached correctly, make sure that metal sections such as connectors and bolts show no sign of rust, or simply keep an eye out for rotten wood. The NADRA want to be sure deck owners have it covered.
