Before hosting your next summer barbeque, inspect your deck to make sure it’s safe and secure for entertaining.

To help prevent deck collapse events this summer, the Home Safety Council is working with Simpson Strong-Tie to educate families on the importance of inspecting their decks for safety at least once a year.
