The collection covers a broad range of styles and sizes so that a pool house or a garden house design can be selected to meet the requirements of almost any type of property and budget.

Review

I cannot imagine that there is any finer collection of pool and garden house designs to be found anywhere. -- Ed Kahn, Editor, Pool & Spa Living magazine

From the Publisher

We are getting wonderful feedback from many families who have used our pool house design catalog. Without exception, people tell us that the diversity of architectural designs and floor plans presented enabled them to select "just the right pool house" to complement the style of their homes and meet the amenity and storage requirements of their pools. We recently polled all those who took the second step and ordered a sets of detailed building plans from us for the pool houses that they had selected in the catalog. These folks report that they built from the plans quite successfully, made modifications easily and saved money on architects' fees. One lady recently told us, "The illustrations and floor plans were quite helpful in my visualizing what kind of pool house I wanted to build-your catalog and building plans are great." Another family, who built our Hacienda model, said, "Our pool house is the talk of the town, we even added a cellar for a wine room as shown in the magazine article attached". --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars pool houses galore, May 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Coventry Pool & Garden Houses (Paperback)

This book had it all. A complete array of pool house or cabana designs including several garden house plans. I believe the catalog has more than fifty different plans that can be adapted to almost any property. Included were plans with extra storage for all the pool supplies that every pool owner surely has, plus many designs included changing rooms, bathrooms, even kitchenettes. To my knollege this is the only book on the market with more than a few building types that resemble pool houses. I thought I'd have to go to an architect, then I discovered the coventry book at Amazon.com. Very valueable tool for anyone thinking of a pool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, September 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Coventry Pool and Garden House Plans : Including summerhouses from England (Paperback)

I was looking for design ideas/plans. This one has nice ideas but it is a book in which you can then proceed to order plans. Not what I was looking for. I was looking for ideas, measurements, planning etc..that sort of thing. If that is what you are looking for this book would not be the right fit for you.
