(MW)lib 690.89 My kind of book. Every kind of shed. Especially like the pavilion shed p144, detailed plans, much inspiration, materials list, sketches.

Very pretty things! Out of my ability and my price range, but still very pretty!

[Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very helpful, clear instructions, detailed building materials list, and clear enough that I built my own small structure and progressed from a novice builder to having a soundly built and weather tight structure in a few weekends.
