Backyard Building: Treehouses, Sheds, Arbors, Gates, and Other Garden Projects

Great information with lots of drawings and clarity

For the size of the book, there's a wealth of information here, the illustrations are elegant, the instructions clear, the diagrams and plans precise. The only minor criticism I have, is that there's perhaps TOO much packed in - arguably it might have been better for the authors to forego including the more complex projects in favor of expanding the construction details and techniques of the more basic ones - there is a certain amount of expertise assumed and a few steps are skimmed-over that could be explained in more detail.Having said that, its finely-balanced combination of creative imagination and practical help is unmatched in any other book on the topic I've yet come across. Possibly not a book for the complete beginner, but aside from that minor caveat, I wholeheartedly recommend it for anybody about to embark on backyard timber construction, or for somebody just seeking inspiration or encouragement to take that first step.

Not a bad book and easy to follow. Got a few great ideas and adapted some ideas to suit my own projects.

Plein d'idées et d'inspirations à travers cet ouvrage, avec l'appui de photos et dessins très explicites. Il n'y a plus qu'à se mettre au travail ...

As expected, bought as gift
