Keep safety in mind as you prepare your garden for grilling season.
Summer is almost here, which means it’s almost time to fire up the grill. At the temperatures start to head up, many homeowners are getting ready for summer barbecuing. But, when it comes to your home, it’s important that you take steps to keep it secure. Ensure your home is ready for this entertaining season by completing these barbecue safety tips.
Keeping your yard looking its best isn’t just a matter of aesthetics. It’s important because you can reduce the risk of accidents by simply keeping things organized. Ensure that trees and shrubs are cut back to reduce the risk of fire danger around the barbecue. It’s also a good idea to keep walkways clear so that your guests are less likely to trip and injure themselves.
After a long winter, it’s worth checking your deck. Ensure that your deck is free of any wood rot or pests and that all nails are in good condition and in place. If your deck isn’t structurally sound, get it checked out and repaired before entertaining to keep your backyard barbecue as safe as possible.
It’s important that you clean your grill so you’re best able to cook your food, but also so that you reduce the risk of any accidents. Aim to keep the grill clear of too much oil and grease before you fire it up.
