With its airy classic look, lattice pro- vides the ideal background for foliage and flowers and for summer living, whether you are entertaining or just relaxing with the family. And it is so adaptable. Painted in the traditional white or in soft colors, it lends a for- mal atmosphere to a traditional gar- den or terrace. Left unpainted to weather to a silver gray, or stained in light transparent tones, it fits the mood of more casual or rustic settings. Given assertive shapes and bold, dec- orative colors, it brings sharp geomet- ric accents to contemporary decks and patios. But lattice is not merely a decora- tive material. For all its lightness and elegance, it is both strong and practi- cal. It provides one of the most effec- tive screens against both wind and harsh sunlight. It offers a highly effec- tive measure of privacy while avoid- ing the unneighborly barrier of a solid fence or wall. It provides attractive support for flowering vines, climbing roses and floral boxes and baskets. Little wonder, then, that lattice is enjoying a resurgence of popularity. Even ten years ago, if you wanted to install some lattice in your home or yard, you had to have it made or build it yourself from strips of lath. Now machine-made lattice is available at building material dealers and home centers in every part of the country. Many homeowners, however, have been greatly frustrated when they went out to buy lattice for their home project. Much of the commercial lat- tice advertised as a weekend special, at a bargain price, is completely un- suitable for use where a good finished appearance is required and long ser- vice desired. It has been made down to a price using low-grade wood, with ] ALN ( * ° \J @ LJ [4 ¢e boo ; 0% 0 so ¢ f oe ® ooo 0d °F, AOC 2% A WAY SOE CXR XAAES % F A LANOD CO [Xs ARBOOOTK = ’ L 4 th : d QA Bm Ea Lh : > - < on, ENE = ik N : i 2 SBE - “agit - —~ -s .

It might be acceptable where it will be mostly concealed or where appearance is not a factor, but not where there is any pride in the home or yard. A good-looking lattice project de- mands well made lattice, built from quality lumber with no structural de- fects, cut into clean, uniform lath, carefully and accurately assembled. Good lattice is precisely fastened at * every intersection and the entire as- sembly reinforced with double fasten- ings around the perimeter and adhe- sive throughout the panel area. Building lattice would be a forbidding task for most homeowners. For dressing up the edges of the lat- tice panels, or helping to connect them or install them in framed assem- blies, Woodway labeled cap and di- vider mouldings, in several dimen- sions, are generally available where the lattice is sold. They are precision machined from the same high grade of woods, to assure a truly fine finished project. With these fine lattice products widely stocked by better building ma- terials dealers, you can plan to add the classic elegance of lattice screening, gazebos, deck railing, or sunshelters to your home, - Save BIG on SYLVAN BOATS Powered By Dependable Mercury Outboards Special In House Prices On Boats Outboards, Trailers and Boating Accessories!
