Because it's pressure impregnated with
clean, water -borne preservatives that
become locked in the cellular wood,
fibers, ALL WEATHER WOOD is im-
pervious to decay, rot and insect attack.
That's why it's so ideal for outdoor
projects such as the patio shown at left.
All Weather Wood comes

Economy and
Added Value
Building with ALL WEATHER WOOD'S
adds value to builder and buyer alike.
From the very first day of construction,
the preserved permanence of ALL
WEATHER WOOD® means full wood -
grained beauty and protection. Far
surpassing untreated wood, the economy
and versatility of ALL WEATHER
WOOD® is not permanence alone.
Equally important, it is maintenance
free; ALL WEATHER WOOD® needs no
painting or staining.
It doesn't require it, but if
you wish you can paint or
stain AO Weather Wood.It
will simply act as an in-
depth prime coat.

How To
Set Your
Posts
Gates Are Easy Too
Shown here is one
design that's easy to
build But regardless
of which design you
choose, allow a
minimum width of 36"
between " posts for
easy accessibility.
The first thing to do is
to make sure your
posts are in line. The
simplest way of
aligning posts is to
begin with two end
posts. Set one per-
manently and fix the
other one to adjust
slightly. Then stretch
twine at bottom and
top and align the in-
termediate posts
before' cementing
them in place.
Space and dig your
post holes every 5' or,
8' apart (never more
than 8' apart or your
fence will sag.) Then
put stone or gravel at
the tiottorn of the. hole
for drainage. Treat the
ends of the posts with
preservative and thejn
anchorthem in the
hole with ready -mix
concrete.
Use, a level to make
sure that each post is
exactly vertical. Brace
the posts until the
concrete has set. It's
a good idea to build a
small concrete mound
around each post to
stop " water from
collecting at,the base.
Brace the corner
posts in ' both direc-
tions. Let the posts
stand for 2 or 3 days
before adding the fen-
cing.
