## Resource

Winter is brutal on decks - especially in Saskatchewan. Frost heave, ice loading, and months of freeze-thaw cycles can turn a perfectly good deck into a safety hazard before you even notice. In this episode we will walk you through a complete spring deck inspection in about 20 minutes, covering every part of your deck from the surface boards to the ledger board(the #1 cause of deck collapses). Whether you've got a wood deck, composite, or PVC, this checklist will help you spot problems early - while they're still cheap fixes - instead of finding our the hard way in the middle of the summer. Got questions about something you found on your deck? Send us the photos and our team will help you sort it out. tuds.ca
