4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, but not for beginners,

This review is from: Outdoor Shelter Plans: Overheads, Sheds and Gazebos (Paperback)
This is a good book with excellent plans and drawings, but it assumes you have a background in construction. It doesn't include much background info such as basic techniques and tools. It does have plans and material lists for 15 different structures. I consider this to be an excellent book to be used in conjunction with other books. If you want more "how-to" info, go with "Building Backyard Structures" by Levine, Begnal & Thornton.

This Book Not for the Amatuer,
By Robert W Hackett (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outdoor Shelter Plans: Overheads, Sheds and Gazebos (Paperback)
Nice plans, but little instruction. Could benefit from pictures of more modest dwellings and projects more suited to the regular homeowner.A good supplement to other, more detailed books, but unless you are an accomplished carpenter, don't make this your only book.

Good book... but beware of used book price gouging.,
By "jrornh" (New Hampshire, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outdoor Shelter Plans: Overheads, Sheds and Gazebos (Paperback)
I found the book to be very helpful. Instructions, drawings and material lists are all very detailed. I have building experience. A novice may want to supplement with a "how to" book that covers techniques and tools. ("How to Build Small Barns & Outbuildings" by Monte Burch. <$13.95 at Amazon.com> is good) What I find disturbing is the price for the used copies of this book, ranging from $28 to $41. New, the book sells for only $9.95!!! Something's very wrong with this picture. But, for some reason, no new copies are for sale here. I wanted to purchase a new copy for my brother. At these rediculous used prices, I think I'll let him borrow mine.
