| Abstract/Contents: | "A tree can take several years to reach the desired size to control the climate. An arbor or overhead immediately provides some shade. Planted with rapidly growing vines in fall or early spring, complete shading can be provided by the time the dog days of summer set in. The space under an arbor graced with leafy vines can be 10 to 15 degrees lower than the surrounding area. In terms of energy conservation, an arbor is most efficient on the west side of the house. This is where heat builds up the most during the hot summer months and where shade in the interior will be most welcomed." Discusses the methods and materials for constructing an arbor, and suggests that arbors, pergolas and overheads can be a profitable project and a means to enhance client satisfaction. |
