Danger: Plants in the patio beautify the surroundings. On the other hand, people like to climb up on the plants. Even pets do it so. Branches of big plants don’t need to be solid and stable enough for them to climb. They may fall while climbing there. 

Safety: People should cut off the weak branches or make family members understood not to climb up the plants very often.

5. Unsecured water reservoir 

Danger:  To ensure a continuous supply of water, there may have a water reservoir in our patio. People like to have pools also in the patio. If luck goes wrong then anything can happen. Very often it is found dangerous for kids and pets. They can be drowned into it.
