Archadeck of Charlotte promotes deck safety
Deck safety is of the utmost importance when constructing a deck. No matter the project, your deck must be built to code and uphold safety standards. Just a couple of days ago there was a tragic accident in West Charlotte involving a 2-story deck collapsing and injuring several people. We wish all involved a speedy recovery and well wishes.
The month of May is Deck Safety Month® Every year, NADRA, the North American Deck, and Rail Association, raises awareness urging homeowners about the importance of checking their deck for potential safety concerns.
