Summary: Clear Instructions
Review: Once you know what you want to build, Rick Peters gives you clear step-by-step instructions (with great illustrations) for constructing and then maintaining outdoor structures. I find this book very useful in my business of renovating and decorating porches, decks & gazebos.
