Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Sheds, 2nd Edition (Black & Decker Complete Guide)

I've probably gotten more help from this book than the other's i've purchased. For someone who has never build anything, it was simple enough to give me a start, and yet as challenging as one could want. It has simple projects from a small wood shed (that one could tweek the design to construct a small livestock shed or dog house) to some pretty complex buildings. Great color step x step photo's and instructions with all the specs needed. I bought it and with some help, i have built 2 small sheds. The paperback book is full of beautiful buildings, all are shingled except one. Instructions on the installation of the metal roof are minimal. I needed much more detail to accomplish that, and i'm still looking for a great book on installing metal roofing in different applications. Found the book to be really helpful. Gives plans/instructions on everything from sight prep to eye appealing utility sheds, to playhouses and cozy retreats. From kit sheds to metal shed maintenance and repair. Loved it.

The book itself is simply okay. The information provided is mostly basic and does provide the basics, but don't expect to this book to be detailed enough to provide an end solution to your shed needs.

This book is clearly written with great photos and easy to understand plans. It offers several different shed designs which can be built by a person with a modest budget and average skills. This book will give you the confidence to build and the knowledge to make it right.

Easy to understand, with complete plans to follow ... I love it!

Very thorough, clear and concise! Happy I bought it, and I picked up several new ideas, that were useful. Black and Decker books are great!

A very good book for the beginner with detailed plans and cut lists, helped me out a lot with my project. I would recommend it.

Saw this book at Home Depot for $25. Thought I would see how much it was on the internet since you can get many books on the internet for half the price. This book arrived very quickly and in perfect condition for a lot less than what Home Depot was asking for it.

It is one of the better shed books, however from a beginners point of view it is not detailed enough to see exactly how to build one. If you have some experience framing than I think it would be great. There were a view sheds that I could consider building the basic plans are there, However in a few pages your shed is completely build and than you go to the building the next shed.. There are some details that were okay but not on the framing of the whole house. I am going to read the complete framers book. This may give me enough experience to understand this book.

libro interesante y bastante completo sobre como construir un cobertizo, con varios diseños y modelos y muchas instrucciones detalladas, si te gusta el bricolaje en el jardín libro indispensable

Das Buch hat mich mit richtig schönen Ideen versorgt, was den Bau einer Gartenhütte betrifft. Im Endefekt ist es bei mir nur ein "Lean-To-Shed" geworden, aber die Ideen und Arbeitsschritte daraus fand ich wirklich hilfreich. Die Maße habe ich mir allerdings selbst "überlegt" und habe mir das Umrechnen so ziemlich erspart.

Top notch.!!!!!

i did not use any of the blueprints in the book but it certainly inspired me when i built my shed i u sed different ideas from the book after going through it 4 or 5 times

After going through this book I am confident that it will provide me the information I need for the job.
