living area, adjacent to the home, to extend the indoor living space-and at a lower cost than adding to the structure itself. In most cases, this improvement begins with the construction of a privacy barrier, or fence.

Landscape architects, and home owners, make important use of Garden Redwood from California for fences because its heartwood holds up longer in contact with the ground. Redwood has a natural, built-in resistance to decay, termites, and the effects of weathering. It holds paint and natural finishes exceptionally well, but will weather gracefully if left unfinished.

Whether the pattern of the fence is basket weave, angled boards, horizontal or vertical louvers, alternate panels of different design, checkerboard parquet, board-and-board, vertical lattice, Gothic picket, or one of the many composition or plastic paneh -framed in wood-garden redwood in its natural color blends with plantings and garden tones.

The grades of redwood lumber are divided into two groups; those which are all-heart and those which may contain sapwood. Each of these grades has a place in the planning for landscape work, including fences.

In selecting the grade of Garden Redwood for a given use, two points should be considered: durability and appearance. If the piece'is to be in or on the ground, or continually moist, one of the all-heart grades should be used. Clear All-Heart may be chosen if a piece without knots is desired. The same is true of the sapwood grades. They should be used only above ground, and the grade selected depends upon the effect desired. A-Grade produces a more formal, finished structure; Sap Common produces a rustic effect.

SURFACE TEXTURE. Two types of surfaces are available on garden redwood. Lumber as it comes from the sawmill has a uniformly roughened surface left by the saw tooth. This texture is often desired for fences, because of its pleasing rustic effect. This type of surface also holds stain very well. It mav be obtained by specifying "rough."

FINISHES: A finish is used on redwood only to achieve a certain effect. It is not necessary to protect the wood.

Left rvithout finish, redwood will first darken and then grad-
