COUNT THEM: 29 oressure treated ooles sunk into the hillside suoport a 5154 sq. ft:, including decks and garage, home in Beverly Hills, Ca. San Antonio Rigid Pole Construction Co., Brea, Ca., installed the ooles in concrete oads at the base of 8' deeo holes filled with concrete. For resislance to decay and insect attack, they were pressure treated using the Cellon process developed by Koppers Co. Serving as both foundation and roof support, the poles combine with massive beams and rafters to form a structural system with exceptional strength and resistance to earthquakes. This type of construction can salvage sites once considered unbuildable.
