1.0 out of 5 stars Creative Plans for Yard & Garden Structures, December 20, 2000

This review is from: Creative Plans for Yard and Garden Structures: 42 Easy-To-Build Designs for Gazebos, Sheds, Pool Houses, Playsets, Bridges and More! (Paperback)

Sorry, this book misses the mark. I was looking for a plan to build a garden bridge over a drainage ditch in my yard. All this book does is show you a picture and tell you where you can purchase the plans. I am unhappy with this book and am returning it.

This review is from: Creative Plans for Yard and Garden Structures: 42 Easy-To-Build Designs for Gazebos, Sheds, Pool Houses, Playsets, Bridges and More! (Paperback)

I have loved using this book since it's inception in 1995. The plans are not expensive at all, since I work with architects and designers, which can really drive up the cost. I am ordering a plan for a beautiful Art Studio / guesthouse, complete with kitchen and bath, for $75.00. The set of plans cost $50.00 almost 15 years ago, so they haven't gone up much. This book is published by Home Planners, Inc. which has been in business for many years and [...]

I'm sorry for the people who ordered the book somehow thinking it would include the full set of plans. What you will get is a very nice drawing and a floor plan to describe what the project is. There are 42 designs for everything under the sun, and my clients love picking out projects to build as much as I do. Give the book a chance and you are sure to find something you too will enjoy.
