    • Great book, additional plans are very expensive.
This book as a standalone is great. It is well written, easy to follow, and very detailed. It is laid out in sections which explain every step of the construction process with a few most common examples of how to do each step. The end of the book is a detailed breakdown of a selection of plans, probably the most common things people buying the book would be looking to build. As an example I wanted a garage / barn, I am building one out of this book. Right up to the last section this book is great, the very end is a gallery of other things you can build and a link online to get those plans with more details. This is where it kinda falls off the rails for me. I know they need to make money, and these plans all represent someones time to make them , but thousands of dollars for unsigned copies only available in 8 or 5 copy sets without being watermarked "not for building use" is pretty crappy. I wanted a book to help with the how to and ideas for the layout and this book on its own was great for this ( I got a few other books from here that were not good for what I wanted). Overall I recommend this book, but if you need plans for your permit office look elsewhere. ... show more

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book. I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however. $800 for the shed with shop and pergola? How about $50? Oh, and 10/10 old man hank here is flipping off his neighbors again… wait, what?! P.285. ... show more

    • Detailed, easy to read and learn.
This book has a lot of very useful straightforward information. It comes with a lot of detailed designs but also teaches you the essentials you need to know when making your own design. We checked this book out from the library and used it to help design a chicken coop and my husband found the book useful enough that he asked me to purchase the book so that we have it for future projects as well. ... show more

    • Very helpful and comprehensive
This book is an outstanding resource for building an outdoor shed or storage building. It covers every aspect of construction but not so complicated that a do-it-yourself person finds it too difficult to understand.
