I'd take it off, and hang Christmas lights over the wall parts that show something used to be there.  Oh, and make sure the upstairs door is locked tight with a sign not to go out....

Maybe a coat of paint would help it hold together.  I can imagine what the dek floor looks like, but you couldn't get me up there.
