According to Jashemski –

In the middle of the garden, four columns formed a shady pergola over a wooden triclinium, the imprint of individual boards and of the crosspieces that held them together were clearly preserved. About fifty large nails were retrieved.

In front of the triclinium there was a marble-faced basin of rectangular form with an apse-shaped extension on the north.

This pool, which had a fountain jet, was connected with a smaller marble basin between the couches of the triclinium.

See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.37).

According to Soprano –

Ubicazione: peristilio.

Bibliog. “Not. Scavi”, 1929, p.386.

Al centro del peristilio s’innalzavano quattro sottili colonne disposte in quadrato che certamente erano destinate a reggere un pergolato.

Al centro dell’area coperta del pergolato, presso una vaschetta marmorea, furon rinvenute, al momento dello scavo, le impronte di un triclinio in legno,  

Era formato da tavole collegate da quattro listelli inchiodati con robusti chiodi di cui furono trovati una cinquantina.

A settentrione del triclinio c’era una piscina di forma rettangolare, con uno dei lati absidati.

See Soprano, P. (1950). I triclini all’aperto di Pompei. (In Pompeiana, raccolta di studi per il secondo centenario degli scavi di Pompei. Napoli, Gaetano Macchiaroli, Editore, P. 307, no.30).
