You cannot legislate for common sense and against stupidity I was referring to the RE property manager perhaps needing a legal requirement to advise tenants about the maximum engineered load applicable to an outside decked area if applicable to a property they are renting. This would also ensure that the structure was properly engineered to begin with. Yes, you cannot legislate against stupidity but many and perhaps most people are not aware of structural load limits. This does not make them stupid. You can legislate awareness. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage. Cleaner Neater Smarter Cheaper Supa Gutter Pumper.
