Patio covers offer many benefits, such as adding useful space for outdoor cooking and entertaining, providing extra insulation, lowering monthly cooling and heating costs, and increasing the value of your home. However, they can also add risk. Patio covers can be made from different materials, but only non- combustible or ignition-resistant materials will help protect your home during the next wildfire. Burning embers can travel up to 5 miles in front of and behind the flames. If they fall on a combustible patio cover, your home’s roof, eaves, and siding will be at risk to both radiant heat and direct flame. Heat and flames from a burning patio cover can also cause windows or sliding glass doors to crack and If you live in break, allowing fire to enter the home. an area prone to wildfires, Types of Materials: it’s important • Aluminum is non-combustible, lightweight, strong, and flexible. to determine Aluminum patio covers are also energy efficient, durable, and if your patio able to handle even the worst weather conditions cover increases • Other Metal are also non-combustible and don’t crack, rot, or your home’s risk peel, but they’re not as durable as aluminum, and will rust when the next unless they are specially treated with a rust-free finish one occurs. • Vinyl is combustible and will burn or melt if exposed to embers, heat, or flames.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Pools Preventing Child Drownings
Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Pools Preventing Child Drownings U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission This document is in the public domain.

However, if it is reproduced, the Commission would appreciate attribution and knowing how it is used. For further information, write: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Communications 4330 East West Highway Bethesda, Md. 20814 www.cpsc.gov CPSC is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of the thousands of consumer products under the agency’s jurisdiction. Many communities have enacted safety regulations for barriers at resi- dential swimming pools—in ground and above ground. In addition to following these laws, parents who own pools can take their own precau- tions to reduce the chances of their youngsters accessing the family or neighbors’ pools or spas without supervision. This booklet provides tips for creating and maintaining effective barriers to pools and spas. Each year, thousands of American families suffer swimming pool trage- dies—drownings and near-drownings of young children. The majority of deaths and injuries in pools and spas involve young children ages 1 to 3 and occur in residential settings. These tragedies are preventable. This U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) booklet offers guidelines for pool barriers that can help prevent most submersion incidents involving young children. This handbook is designed for use by owners, purchasers, and builders of residential pools, spas, and hot tubs. The swimming pool barrier guidelines are not a CPSC standard, nor are they mandatory requirements.

Vacuum Appropriation Strategies Between Patio and Pavilion Archetypes Hybridization in Two Classical Masters Works of Modern Architecture
Athens Journal of Architecture - Volume 4, Issue 1– Pages 7-30 Vacuum Appropriation Strategies between Patio and Pavilion Archetypes Hybridization in Two Classical Masters Works of Modern Architecture By Simone Solinas Patio and pavilion, understood as archetypes, may appear as opposing principles in the construction of space. However, we can see through the analysis of some of the proposed cases that the overlap of these principles takes place very frequently, because they both arise from the need to delimit the vacuum by giving to it the character of space. The vacuum is not space, although space may be empty. The vacuum exists without us, whereas space does not. The architect, in designing enclosed space, encapsulates a portion of the vacuum, indistinct and formless, understood as Nature. This is a fragment of Paradise that everyone has right to possess, by binding an idea to the image of the patio and pavilion. From their combined use, there are several cases in which these elements take shape in architectural projects. In some projects, one principle dominates the other, but it is evident that there are a large variety of mixed proposals between the two extremes. The two principles do not exclude one another and can coexist together in a complementary way by appearing in the same project. The two figures as archetypes are taken as the main reference points of different poles that seem to be conflicting and irreconcilable ideas, but that instead build together the complexity of architecture. Full | empty, outside | inside, empty space | full-space, stereotomic | tectonic, vertical | horizontal, centrifugal | centripetal, works together to build space.

Backyard Design Essentials Tips to Turn Your Backyard Or Patio Into the Ideal Outdoor Space for Your Family
Backyard Design Essentials Tips to turn your backyard or patio into the ideal outdoor space for your family. Whether you have a smaller patio or an extensive backyard, there are several things you can do to turn it into a comfortable, outdoor oasis. In this guide, we take a look at backyard essentials, like fencing, shade structures, and furniture, that can turn a piece of land into a welcoming outdoor space for entertaining and relaxing. The Right Fence for Your Function There is a myriad of reasons to build a fence around your yard – privacy, setting the boundaries of your property, keeping your kids and dogs safe, and keeping critters and nosy neighbors out. Technology, taste and necessity have created a variety of fence types, in both look and material. There are options to match nearly every consideration and functionality. Before you choose your fence, consider your need for functionality, and preferences for security, privacy and maintenance. Security A good fence will keep the things you want in – and the things you don’t out. Of course, the level of security needed for each situation is unique. If you don’t want your small dog to escape, you won’t need a giant, steel-reinforced wall. A basic board fence should do the trick. Security is also about keeping things out of your yard – like critters. For example, if you live near a canyon, your yard is exposed to coyotes, rattle snakes and even the occasional curious mountain lion. Skunks, possums and rats roam many neighborhoods as well. If you live in an area where critters are abundant, you’ll want to build a fence that is snug to the ground and tall enough to deter intruders.
