That's why the general skills section has been updated and improved. With this complete guide, you can build just about any shed you dream of. Plus, you'll find information on new tools and products that will make your project go faster and more smoothly. Rounded out with helpful information on important considerations like siting and zoning, Black & Decker Complete Guide to Sheds 3rd Edition truly is a complete guide to this very popular DIY activity.

Thes BEST shed book I've ever seen!
Format: Paperback
This shed book is great! There are lots of ideas, pics, different versions, and all the how-to pics and directions. It is definitely the best shed book I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of them over the past 40 years.

Very Useful
Format: Paperback
This is a great book, it really is the complete guide to building a shed. The instructions are clear and easy to follow even for someone who has never built anything before. Highly recommend.

good starting point
Format: Paperback
Has some good basics, but I feel it jumps some steps for a book claiming to be a "complete guide". Illustrations show use of supplies not listed in the supply list.

DIY Sheds
Format: Paperback
Bought this to explore designs and learn a little about framing. May or may not build a shed, but the book is very nice, lots of different designs, pictures, instructions, tradeoffs, siting and location prep. Great little book which should prove useful even if just for reference.

A good starting place for building a shed
Format: Paperback
A good starting place for building a shed, but lots of mistakes in the instructions. I'm building the bike shed, and so far I've encountered these errors: 1) the shopping list neglects to include studs for framing the door; 2) the sidewall sole plate and top plate are listed with incorrect lengths; 3) the step-by-step photos seem to show a shed without a floor... the floor is never installed, despite the description indicating that that is what is depicted in the photo. Anyway, if you build one of these sheds do so with a critical eye for detail and some common sense. Also, the book starts out explaining what a 2x4 is (yes! we're starting with basics!), but the actual shed building plans say things like "build the left sidewall" and "shingle the roof". No steps or plans for how to do that... you're on your own! I'm thinking if the book starts out assuming you'd need help identifying a 2x4, it's safe to assume you'd need help framing a wall and shingling a roof. Don't get me wrong, you can use Google and some YouTube videos to fill in the gaps, no problem. Just be aware that this book isn't going to hold your hand if you're starting from basics. ... show more

Great book!
Format: Paperback
I haven't finished the whole book yet but so far, it has a lot of great information in it. I think it's worth getting and adding to a book collection.

Lots of design options with intuitive plans
Format: Paperback
This book has many design options here to only known to your wife (barn to modern to salt box). It covers everything from site prep, floor, roof, to solar power!

Great How-To Book For First Time Builders
Format: Paperback
This book is great, it gives you step by step instructions and a "shopping list" of materials. Can't be any easier. Only wish they would had given you some modifications options for some of the larger shed layouts (example, adding windows, front awning options, etc etc)
