• A Little Disappointed 19 July, 2006
I read all the good reviews and bought this book. I have to say I am disappointed. There are not a lot of content in the book, as you can tell that the author intentionally increase the margin of each page to greatly increase the total page number. The diagrams are sketchy, of low quality.
I happened to pick up a book "building shed like a pro" at local library, it is a whole lot better. If you go to book store and read both books, you will know what I mean.

• Wow - This Is An Eye Opener For The British 25 March, 2007
We don't do sheds like these - what a surprise. These are very nice looking outhouses that most carpenters could build. The plans and dimensions are pretty basic but all the construction notes are within the book so it would cause the average home carpenter no problems. The designs ae really nice and opens up your thinking beyond just another shed - to creating a garden building that enhances the garden rather than creating an eyesore for the future. When I get round to building one of these I might just move out of the house and take up residence in my new 'shed'. The shed would look better than the house!

• As Essential As My Toolbox! 02 February, 2007
What an inspiration, and good ideas are exactly what we weekend builders need. I find there are lots and lots of technical books on building and construction techniques - how to size nails and screws, how to mix cement, estimating lumber, etc., but there are very few books which provide inspiration in the form of great ideas and alternatives to the standard box that most people build for a shed. I found the drawings to be very clear and specific and had no problem with planning and constructing my own personal design based on the Stiles' great ideas and instructions.

• Wonderful Book 04 March, 2007
This book is great. I had one copy and lost it and liked it so much that I bought another to replace the lost one. Lots of great sheds from small to large.
