Professional deck builders along with inspectors and industry manufacturers/dealers are working together to provide education to industry professionals, home owners and renters through NADRA.org and other national organizations. NADRA.org has a free "Check Your Deck" list that home owners (and renters) can download. Please, if you have a deck, get it inspected and repaired!
