Es besitzt jedoch eine Reihe von Eigenschaften, die z.T. schwierig zu berechnen sind und die man bei der Auswahl der geeigneten Holzart beachten muß, insbesondere, wenn es Wind und Wetter ausgesetzt ist. Dieses Buch erläutert die Eigenschaften von Holz sehr umfassend und gibt Informationen, wie man das Material am besten in die Landschaftsgestaltung einplant, bei der Konstruktion die technischen Daten berücksichtigt und entsprechend verarbeitet. \u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
