This is a terrific source of good designs. The photographs are downright inspriring. It leaves a lot to be desired in terms of how the book tells you to construct the projects. If you don't know advanced woodworking techniques, this probably isn't the book for you. The bill of materials is inadequate, some of the items listed are incorrectly sized, some are non standard sizes causing additional expense. (The design could easily be sized for standard items.) Pick a project and have a carpenter on speed dial!
I am very pleased with this book. It contains much, much more useful information than I expected. I expected a book mostly on greenhouses of various styles and sizes: it is that, in respectable detail, but it also contains a large assortment of other garden oriented projects. The book is also technically well done, clearly professionally edited and organized. In addition, even a newbie in project construction will find generous explanations, photos and drawings to illustrate the details of construction techniques. Even for those who lack the time or space for any of the larger projects, there are many smaller projects to hold your interest and suggest new possibilities that might have otherwise escaped your thinking. Black and Decker tools ate used to illustrate construction users, but book is not a sales pitch for that brand.To emphasize how pleased I am with the contents, I ordered several more copies as gifts for other members of my family! If your interests are in projects to complement your garden (or your spouse's garden), you won't be disappointed. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I rate this a solid 6 or even 7 stars!
I have several "how-to" books for building greenhouses. None of them are very practical. Except this one. It gave me a simple cheap project to start with, and a variety of greenhouses to choose from with good-enough pictures and instructions. It's not a book to dream with; it's a book to use.
I bought this book for my wife, the gardener. She absolutely loves it. And, if she likes it, it makes me happy! To be honest, I know nothing about gardening. But, she does. So, I defer to her judgement.
Great book. Lots of fun ideas from easy to advanced. Good, clear detail in the instructions too. I like the different ideas for the greenhouseprojects being offered by how much money you wanted to spend. From quite cheap to fairly costly. You can just follow the plan that fits yourbudget.
I gave this book a 4 stars because I had a lot of question about greenhouses and it answered them all I just wish there were more plans and ideas. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about build a greens or needs ideas for other garden projects.
Nothing speaks better than a video. I almost didn't purchase this because of another reviewer, but I am so glad I scaled the good reviews against the poor review and went ahead and purchased it. For your pleasure see the video :) [...]
My husband built me a greenhouse using recycled windows and now is planning on building me a new greenhouse. With this book, he has gotten some great ideas, and they have step by step instructions. There are also some great ideas to build container gardens and to organize inside your greenhouse too.
