Atriums, Decks, Pools
Blends Well Together
The growing popularity of home
swimming pools Is affecting re
sidential design. For example
the new emphasis on atrium plan
ning which lets you swim and
sunbathe in complete privacy.
According to the Southern Pine
Association, atrium homes are
built around centrally located
yards. Thus concentrated, the
outdoor living area Is larger and
more livable than would be pos
sible with separate front, side
and rear yards.
The atrium or courtyard, of
course, Is an Ideal locale for a
pool. The house itself consti
tutes an impressive buffer
against busy streets or neigh
boring abodes and thus minimizes
the danger of physical or visual
intrusion.
Wood decks go well with atri
ums and pools. They are com

strictly on a “first come, first
serve’’ basis.
sortable as well as aesthetically
appealing. Since wood does not
reflect heat, you can sunbathe on
hot summer days without the sur
face blistering your skin.
Decks of pressure treated Sou
thern Pine offer the added ad
vantages of long-life and low
maintenance. Pressure treat
ment with chemical preserva
tives assures immunity to insect
attack and the elements.
With atrium design, interior
living areas are generally orient
ed toward the inner courtyard
so that each room shares the out
door view. Simply by opening
the door of your bedroom or
dressing room, you are within
a few steps of your pool. A wood
deck provides an easy walking
surface.
Exterior house walls sur
rounding the central pool area
are, of course, the strategic lo
cales for large window areas.

Steel Fencing
Functional steel fencing comes
in a variety of colorful and ar
tistic forms, and gives the ad
vantages of durability, easy in
stallation, little maintenance and
low cost.
One of the most versatile steel
fences is the chain-link type,
a "garden trellis” design made
of steel chain-link mesh with a
vinyl coating. The coating gives
extra protection.

Chain link fences do double
duty, in performing the functions
of a fence and allowing a high
degree of visibility. If more pri
vacy is desired, the link fence
can serve as a trellis for vines,
roses and other climbing plants.
Stock steel parts are avail
able for do-it-yourself fence de
sign and construction. Consult
a buildings materials dealer or
