Shown here is an interestir-rg project which the lumber dealer can promote to sell framing lumber, Masonite PegBoard panels and fixtures, paint, hardware and the metal fence posts used for legs. Attractive screens like this can be used to provicle privacy for a patio, screen the wind, cut off the view of an unattractive area. or merelv add a decorative touch to an outdoor setting.

Lightweight and easy to move, the screen is a 4' square panel of Masonite ,r/s" Peg-Board in a framing of grooved 1 by 2-inch lumber. Angle ironi at the corners strengthen the framework. The legs are sections of metal fence posts which extend 1' from the bottom and are pushed into the ground to hold the screen upright.

With accompanying Peg-Board fixtures, the screen can be equipped with shelves, as in the photo, or hooks from which to hang lawn and garden tools or barbecyng' :grprn:11_

Prefinished Color Pqnels

Goin Quick Acceptonce

Widespread acceptance in test marketing has decided United States Plywood Corporation to go into full-scale production of a new addition to its line of Weldwood Prefinished Paneling"Color-Styled Samara," the first wall paneling which combines the traditional warmth and distinction of a hardwood grain with a range of decorator colors, and widens the market for hardwood paneling because of the growing demand for new materials which carry out color themes in home and officl interiors.

Color-Styled Samara is being offered in nine colors: Biscayne Blue. Coral Rose, Sherwood Gre-en, Dove Grey, Provincial, Candlelight, Suntan, Nutmeg and Cinnamon.

Test marketing was carried on through selected U.S. Plywood branches and in displays at the NAHB convention and at regional lumber dealer conventlons. d Plvwood Co.....Mvadc

Color-Styled Samara is relatively ino<pensive. Paneling material for a 12'x8' wall costs approximately $45.

Because wood nail bins become worn and splintered, many lumber yards line them with Masonite /8" Tempered Presdwood. Dealers report that bins repaired in this manner are better than new.
