Sheds, gazebos & outbuildings - Philip Schmidt

This Black & Decker Home Improvement Library title delivers complete plans for 10 versatile buildings fo the landscape. Unlike commercial plans and other books, readers will find detailed step-by-step instructions with full-color photos and illustrations. The opening section summarizes the building code basics of outdoor construction, and gives a detailed overview of the construction process, from laying footings to applying final finishes. The book features a variety of projects, ranging from a simple storage lean-to, to an elegant screen-enclosed gazebo. Each project is adaptable to a variety of situations and uses. The basic shed project, for example, can easily be adapted to serve as a gardener's potting shed, a children's play house, or a landscaper's storage shed. Featured projects include: Basic Doghouse, Recycling Shed, Firewood Lean-to, Basic Garden Shed, Yard-Tool Lean-to, Elevated Children's Playhouse, Open Gazebo, Screen-enclosed Gazebo, Hobby Barn, and Garden Tractor Garage.
