The book is full of great ideas and designs for gazebos and other outdoor structures suitable for the back yard and the cottage. For the novice carpenter it details lumber lists, tools required, definitions, and building techniques combining colour and graphics and photos to get the information across.

Exceptionally well written, obviously by a person or persons who have intimate knowledge of construction techniques. Extremely helpful, with great photos and diagrams. Great glossary. Actually, a great book on carpentry, disguised as a book for Gazebos. If you can buy only one book for encouragement, then this is it.

Ive looked thru this book a hundred times for ideas. Its a great book for that. Now if I only had money to build one. (sigh)

This book served its purpose well, which was to give us some ideas on what types of gazebos are available, and what setting may be the best for our property. We have 12 acres on a stream, as well as a pond, and are trying to decide if we want to place the gazebo overlooking the stream, by the pond, or closer to the house.
