Fencing & Access Control
"So-
called 'undesirables' are not the problem. It is the
measures taken to combat them that is the problem...
The best way to handle the problem of undesirebles is
to make the place attractive to everyone else." --
William H. Whyte

| Innovative Adjustable Bison ScrewJack Pedestals | | |  Adjustable Bison ScrewJack Pedestals
support pavers, tiles or natural stone for roof and plaza
decks. Precise spacer tabs promote deck
drainage and the simple screw-to-adjust height setting
assures a perfectly straight, perfectly level deck, every
time.
Bisons are made of high density polypropylene and each
one will support 1,000 lbs. with a factor of safety
(FOS) of 2. Their broad footprint
allows them to be placed on the waterproofing without
damaging the membrane and they are impervious to
freeze-thaw cycles. With a fast
turn of the pedestal base to adjust height and simple
accessories to compensate for slope, Bison saves on
installation labor.
Downloadable CAD details you can drop directly into

| Create Elegant Outdoor Spaces with VERSA-LOK | | | 
Once upon a time, "backyard improvements" meant
pouring a concrete slab patio, stacking some treated
landscape timbers and planting planting a few
perennials around the perimeter. No longer.
Today, using VERSA-LOK Retaining Wall Systems,
backyard improvements include anything from
curvaceous walls and stately columns to tiered gardens
and graceful stairways.
Random-pattern walls such as VERSA-LOK Mosaic, for
example, achieve a handcrafted, natural-stone
appearance that is at least as durable as and more
affordable than natural stone-and it's more flexible.
Used in concert with paving stone patios and
walkways, VERSA-LOK retaining wall systems make it
possible to create just about any kind of living space
outdoors.
Unlike some segmental retaining wall systems, VERSA-
LOK has no hollow cores to fill. This makes VERSA-LOK
more structurally sound and easily adaptable for
maximum design flexibility.
The hottest trend with landscape architects seeking a
more natural appearance is VERSA-LOK Weathered,
with its aged, vintage look. It's an ideal solution for
historic preservation or renovation projects in which
existing stone must be matched-especially if you
haven't got a couple hundred years to wait.
For more information on the many ways VERSA-LOK
Retaining Wall Systems can enhance your landscape
design, contact VERSA-LOK at 800-770-4525 or www.versa-
