| DECK MAINTENANCE |
 Sure Footing: Carefully select and maintain your deck to prevent future missteps. Accidents don't just happen in the pool, a high number come as a result of slips and falls on the deck.
- Drainage:Decks without adequate drainage can become slippery and create tripping hazards.
 Keep it Cool: Often decks are in full sun. If they are too hot underfoot, the decking can irritate--and even injure--people and pets.
- Smooth it Out: Make sure there are no splinters, jagged edges or rough surfaces, as these could also cause injuries.
