The Ever Increasing Uses of Chemically - Treated Wood

The vigorous pole-type construction oI the new swimming pool pavilion and aux' iliary buildings at Jackson Hole Lodge reflects the rugged beauty o{ its Grand Teton setting, as well as the sturdy log building of its pioneer settlers.

Pole columns and rafters pressure-treated with Chemonite were employed to cr:eate an updated version of a western tepee. The effect, to suggest "logs frozen in motion," was achieved by arranging 18 3S-foot long Chemonited pole rafters in a double-curved hyperbolic shape supported by pole columns and held stable by a tension cable and a central compression ring around a skylight. No interior sup- ports were necessary. A corrugated'iron ceiling is hung inside the rafters.

In addition to the 40-foot diameter pool shelter, other buildings in the $110,000 project were framed by Chemonited poles embedded in concrete. These stockade-type structures include dressing and shower cubicles, toilets. pool filters and an electri' cal substation. The dressing facilities are made of colored asbestos panels between pole columns with a redwood trellis roof.

The architects state that satisfaction of their design requirements was the primary reason for their choice o{ pole type con' struction for the project, with economy as a happy bonus feature.
