August 15, 2012 – Quakertown, PA | The North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA), now in its 8th year, is launching their Third Annual NADRA National Deck Competition.

For builders who spend time on some of those special projects, the final two categories include Best Illumination and Best Unique Feature. Best Overall Deck Project takes it all!
2011 National Deck Competition judge, Glenn Mathewson, states, “From simple elegance to massively elaborate, judging these decks made me wish I was still building them. It was obvious, with no doubt, that these NADRA builders are making dreams come true for their clients. Amazing work, my friends, amazing!”
