We’ve taken what not only is standard and essential to the success of your building project, but also what we thought was the best information deriving from hours of research and the professionals we spoke with. This eBook also includes tips, warnings, and practical suggestions that are involved with above ground pool deck construction and the logical planning strategies that can help make your vision a reality. The eBook has been organized into a logical sequence so that, if you were to follow the recommended steps in order from the first chapter to the last, you can build an above ground pool deck. If you want to maximize the effectiveness of this eBook and apply it equally effectively to your pool deck project, read it through completely at least once to introduce yourself to the concepts and steps you’ll have to take.

  • The Changing Faces of the Concrete Balustrade in Nigerian Vernacular Architecture
    Sustainable Tourism IV 395 The changing faces of the concrete balustrade in Nigerian vernacular architecture C. O. Osasona & F. O. Ewemade Department of Architecture, Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria Abstract A balustrade is an architectural contrivance used to delimit space, as an aesthetic complement, to provide protection, or for a combination of these functions. It is associated mainly with bridges, balconies and staircases. In the context of balconies and verandas, it is more a feature of tropical and the Mediterranean, rather than temperate climates. In Nigeria, the balustrade dates back to colonial and colonially-facilitated architecture.

Contemporary practice favours the baluster-type balustrade. Traditional motifs included stylized floral, geometric or abstract, and even featured customizing calligraphy. Traditional production methods and implements were basic, and the output somewhat crude. Contemporary-type balustrades could be factory-produced (hence, standardized and exhibiting greater
