Deck Safety Checklist

As summer approaches and families across North America begin to spend more time together, deck safety must remain a top priority. National Nail's CAMO® deck fastening brand partners with the North American Deck & Railing Association's (NADRA) Deck Safety Month® in May to encourage deck safety for contractors and homeowners.

"As a NADRA Deck Safety Ambassador, we encourage homeowners to inspect their decks to make sure they're ready for summer entertaining," said W. Scott Baker, CEO, National Nail.

CAMO and NADRA urge homeowners and contractors to inspect their decks for deterioration of structural materials from water, climate factors and the corrosion of structural fasteners and connectors.

"This year more than ever, everyone is excited to get back outdoors with their loved ones, but please help keep them safe and check your deck before gathering," said Mike Beaudry, Executive Vice President, NADRA.

With CAMO, homeowners get safer, more stable decks, while contractors benefit from faster installations that reduce labor, time and ultimately, jobsite fatigue. The award-winning CAMO® Deck Fastening System allows deck builders to achieve a fastener-free surface in less time than traditional methods. Combining CAMO's tools and fasteners like the DRIVE™ stand-up fastening tool, LEVER® board bending and locking tool and Universal Deck Clips help contractors complete safe deck installations up to 5X faster.
