A Note from NADRA's Executive Vice President, Michael Beaudry:
Greetings!
Join me for a minute.... take yourself away from the craziness of your day. Take a few deep breaths and imagine your feet in the sand, a cold drink in your hand... you are surrounded by some of the best backyard visionaries in North America. Your code chairman and co-chair are standing by the firepit. Your entire NADRA board is sharing a meal with you (an award-winning meal - the food is top-notch!). National award-winners from over the past 11 years are talking shop with you. You don't have anywhere to be besides where you are right now. No training to get to, no meetings in a booth. You are right where you need to be. Warm, sunny, Clearwater Beach, FL on March 24th & 25th, 2022
Guys, registration is now happening. The hotel is filling up. Book your room by 2/22/22. Bring your crew. Most are bringing their wives & husbands. Many are bringing their kids. I can't believe how many of the members are already excited, registered, and coming to the event. This is our 12th year putting on the National+ Deck Awards. Having a stand-alone event the past 2 years, in a vacation destination, with our friends, peers, and industry leaders... bringing our families together... well, that's been 18 years in the making! Your team at HQ and your board of directors and countless volunteers have worked tirelessly over the years to bring an industry together and to make a difference for one another. It's happening! Be part of it... You're not going to want to miss this! Please book your room and purchase your tickets today.
Sincerely,
Mike Beaudry
Executive VP, NADRA

In case you missed it! Check out this Impressive 1,000 Square Foot Project:
Built on a cliff in an exclusive neighborhood, the property had an existing 19’ tall retaining wall and a small backyard. With a national forest behind the property, the engaged owner felt that there was so much more potential for something special and wanted to go all in to make his visions a reality. Besides the 1,000 square foot Trex deck, the client wanted to incorporate a submerged hot tub on the upper level, install a fire pit, including a complete outdoor kitchen, an infinity-edge pool with a Riverflow current system, the list goes on. This project and client were a builder’s dream!
Before we jump into the project details, we wanted to speak with John to learn how a small-town boy from Georgia ended up winning the largest deck competition in the world. Read More
