For 21 years, the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) has been the trusted voice of the decking and outdoor living industry. NADRA supports its members through advocacy, education, and programs that ensure safety, quality, and innovation. From initiatives like Deck Safety Month®, to advocacy efforts shaping building codes, professional certifications, and community projects like Deck for a Soldier®, NADRA provides its members with the tools and resources to succeed.
Deck safety should be a priority in every season, not just during Deck Safety Month® in May. Estimates show that half of the decks in the U.S. need repair or replacement*, with many having issues with ledger boards.
