Ah, a roof deck in Boston in the summer, what could be better? Whether you are enjoying a stunning view or just a nice conversation with friends, it is important to be safe before anything else. These 5 tips can help you make the most of your roof deck experience while protecting yourself from injury.
Assess the number of people in addition to the weight of outdoor furniture and plants to make sure that you are not over the weight load for the deck.
Make sure that your roof deck is properly maintained before you use it each season. Hire a licensed contractor to do all work and make sure you have the proper permits.
Make sure that you nail down anything that is not secure or make sure it is attached in some way. Planters and small furniture could fly off in bad weather.
