Southern Pine Goes Western

Southern pine continues to move across the Rocky Mountains to cap_ ture western markets. Even Sunset Magazine, the "Bible" of western home owners, gardeners, chefs and do-it-yourselfers, has succumbed.

A 20 tt. garden center designed and built by senior writer Peter Whiteley will be on peflnanent display at Sunset's test garden in Menlo Park, Ca. A million readers learned how to build it in a three page, four color feature in the March issue.

Designed with sections measuring 4 ft. wide, 84 in. high and24 in. deep, the unit used treated southern pine 4x4s, 2x4s and 2x6s with a translucent roofof fiberglass. Southern pine lattice panels provide a background for the structure.
