DECORATE
CAUTIOUSLY
Holiday decorations add charm to community
associations, but they can create issues if not
installed correctly. Here are some tips for safe
decorating practices:
• Follow HOA Guidelines: Share and
adhere to decoration rules, such as
approved decoration areas, display time
frames, and size or quantity limitations.
• Test Decorative Lighting: Before setting
up holiday lights, check for frayed
wires or broken bulbs, which can cause
electrical fires. LEDs are recommended,
as they're energy-efficient and produce
less heat.
• Secure Inflatables and Large
Decorations: High winds can blow
inflatables or other yard decorations
away. Their attachment to the ground
needs to be assessed regularly,
especially following bad weather.
• Professional Installation: If you're
planning a large decoration display,
consider hiring professionals who can
install lights safely to avoid mishaps
and injuries from amateur attempts.
