Review Summary: Helpful source of ideas.
Date: 2007-10-21
Details: I needed to see more options before accepting a professional landscape designer's proposal. It would have cost hundreds of dollars to have him draw up more ideas, but by consulting the Deck Planner I was able to suggest ideas I wanted him to persue.
Review Summary: This Book is Worthless
Date: 2007-05-18
Details: This book is completely useless. The renderings are basic, they don't offer anything interesting or imaginative. Then you have to pay more money to gets plans for decks you wouldn't build anyway.
Totally Worthless!!!
Review Summary: You Can Do It!
Date: 2007-05-12
Details: This book is the BEST! My husband has read and reread several chapters. Even our city planner person wanted a copy of it. They wanted to know where to find it so they could tell others about it. This is the most comprehensive book of any I looked at - by far, with great drawings and pictures, and the "Pro Tips" are absolutely wonderful to end up with a beautifully finished project.
Review Summary: nice picture book, USELESS for building
Date: 2006-09-13
Details: I purchased this book after finding out they were tied to a large company that provide detailed plans as well.
Later, I find that the plans you are sent for the ADDITIONAL $75.00 are complete junk. The company the book also refers to, is out of business, and all the out of spec/code/date plans are from another company.
The book is absolutely USELESS to anyone that wants to look and pick out building plans. It belongs in the recycle bucket.
