GETTING IT OFF THE GROUND!

The Sole Support of Pole Support, In Addition To Many Uses, Now Allows Residential Construction to Take To the Hills

Pole-type construction is not new, but the continuing discovery of new uses for this proven, versatile and economical method of building brings it increasingly into the spotlight.

l'l-re "pole-type" method of building construction was originally developed, according to the Western Wood Preserving Operators' Association, primar- ilv to solve the problems in economic farm operation. Costs for such buildings are but a fraction of those involved in conventional construction of barns, sheds and other farm structures.

Iu recent years architects, as u'ell as engineers, have perceived the many advantages inherent in pole-type construction. Architects are now introducing this method for home designespecially for steep hillsides or other sites whose terrain would require costly preparation.

They have found that building on poles, sunk in the ground, increases versatility in design and minimizes or eliminates the problem of interior bearing walls, since the embedded exterior poles provide the foundation for the

In the San Francisco area, many such homes have been built, and new tracts are now planned for hilly districts considered unfeasible for conventional construction.

IUany believe that pole-type construction, using the pressttre-treated rn'ood, may well be the ultimate answer to the problem of opening up similar areas for residential exDansion in Southern California.
