Provision Outdoor Living: It has broad streets, handsome parks, and extensive provision outdoor living for outdoor living and recreation, and the city is noted for its attractive homes, excellent hotels and trailer camps, and ample facilities for the entertainment of guests. The 33 miles of waterfront afford splendid beaches and there are many parks and pleasure grounds. The Municipal Recreation Pier extends a half mile into Tampa Bay, and an indoor pool and solarium are located on its approaches. The city has exceptional fishing, commodious yacht harbors and Boat basins, and fine golf courses.
SWEET SANCTUARY: The concept of the outdoor room has expanded from living to lounging. It's bedding in the backyard, with an emphasis on comfier yet still weather-resistant materials. Among the hot items? Tandem chaise lounges.
PATIOS TEND to look better laid in symmetrical, formal designs while wooden decking is an ideal alternative for curved, flowing layouts. Decking has a much more relaxed, informal feel to it than paving. It is a material associated with outdoor living and leisure and, being relatively soft, it is a better material than blocks if you have children.
Wood blends in with plants much more than blocks. The texture of blocks contrasts well with that of living material; the one is hard and solid, the other light and full of movement. The two work well together in any garden. There is nothing more attractive than the straight edge of a patio softened by a profusion of trailing plants. |
