5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "how-to" book, January 18, 1999
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sheds & Garages (Outdoor Buildings) (Paperback)
This book covers all aspects of building structures, including planning, site prep, roofing, siding, tools, etc. Lots of well-drawn pictures and diagrams make for a clear understanding. The book doesn't include any plans, but has a section in the back where you can send away for any of 33 plans for a small fee. All-in-all a good reference, especially in conjunction with other books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cover states plans--book contains NO plans, April 10, 2004
This review is from: Sheds & Garages (Outdoor Buildings) (Paperback)
If you do not know what a plumb bob is, or how to mark a chalk line, this book will be of great value. If you are looking for plans to build a shed, buying this book is similar to paying for an order form.

This will show you from the ground up how to build a shed, yes. However, one must pay another 15-30 dollars for the actual plans, despite the covers boast of "special section: 33 Great New Plans!". Reason #298 why to look at the book at a real bookstore before buying, too.

If you know how to build anything, you may see this as a waste of time/money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheds and garages, November 29, 2007
This review is from: Sheds & Garages (Paperback)
I loved this book!!! Not only did you see ideas on how to decorate but if you wanted to, "bulid it yourself", then it gave you step by step and tools as well as land lay out you needed.

Also gave you garage/loft plans to choose from. Again loved it!!
