Projects for Outdoor Living (The Backyard Builder) [Hardcover]

William Hylton (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Might this be the ultimate outdoor building project book? Certainly, it is difficult to detect any missing categories among its benches, planters, fences, walls, walks, patios, play gyms, decks, pools, tubs, trellises, arbors, gazebos, and pergolas. Interspersed among the projects are sizable chapters covering the basics of framing and joinery, fence construction, outdoor plumbing and wiring, masonry, and landscaping. Functional line drawings and inspiring color photos abound. While some might see in this a kind of project book overkill (there are so many books on this subject), libraries with highly active and comprehensive how-to collections may want to purchase.
