Warning Signs
of an Unsafe
Deck
On
May
16th Simpson
Strong-Tiepublished"Did
you know that
deck collapses
have increased
by 20% since
2007? The good
news is that
deck failures
are
preventable.
Using the
proper
structural
connectors and
fasteners, as
well as
regular
maintenance,
is the secret
to a safe,
strong deck.
We recommend
that decks be
inspected
annually to
ensure that
all
connections
are still
strong”.
