'Procrastinate no more: Sheds: The Do-It-Yourself Guide for
Backyard Builders will get you fired up and hammering before
you’re even back from a lumber-shopping spree' National Post.
'Even if it’s never before occurred to you to build [a shed],
reading this book may provide a sudden rush of inspiration' Globe
and Mail. The fourth edition of this classic guide is expanded and
updated to include 23 sheds to suit all needs and tastes. It covers
all of the issues, from design principles, obtaining permits and
safety to basic construction skills, precise explanations of what
to buy, how to cut it, where it goes, what to do if it goes wrong
and more. By following the book carefully with patience and care,
even inexperienced DIY builders can succeed. The how-to section is
heavily illustrated with plans, assembly cutaway drawings,
specifications and finished sheds. The projects list materials,
tools, a daily schedule and step-by-step directions. A primer on
construction covers framing, foundations, roofing, insulation,
windows and more. The designs are based on a basic 8×10-foot shed.
In addition to the new designs are the basic sheds (e.g.,
gardening, firewood), and the more elaborate ones like the Irish
Garden Shed, Japanese Boat Shed, a shed on posts and special-use
sheds like a pool shed and a wood shed. The authors help the DIY
builder think through all of the issues involved in the project,
including intended use, size, cost, placement, degree of difficulty
and much more. This new edition will inspire homeowners to create
the ideal functional addition to their property. It will help them
decide on the right plan, finesse it for their needs and tastes,
shop for materials, organise their time, and put together their
one-of-a-kind shed.
