5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Book!, June 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Trellises and Arbors (Paperback)
I've enjoyed countless hours curled up with my well-worn copy of "Trellises and Arbors." It's clearly written with numerous photos and drawings that show the details of construction. It even discusses choices of fasteners, woods, and alternative building materials. It also includes tables to calculate the materials you'll need to use. This book has encouraged me (a construction novice) to begin work on a grape arbor in my back yard.

This review is from: Trellises and Arbors (Paperback)
this book is basically a pretty overview of ideas. i expected to see more information on how to construct arbors and or trellises. there were also too many pages devoted to climbing plants for the arbors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photos and ideas!, October 16, 2003
This review is from: Trellises and Arbors (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book, being my first Sunset guide to gardening. With all of the excellent photos and drawings it gives you plenty of ideas for building outdoor structures. Granted, it is a short book and you won't be an expert after reading it, but it gives you plenty of information to get started with building beautiful garden trellises and arbors.
