Description:
Whether it is meant to keep animals in or out, mark a boundary, or provide a little privacy, a proper fence can make the difference between a world of trouble and peace of mind. For every situation, there is a type of fence that might work better than others. Wood posts or steel, wire mesh or chain link or rail: this book will help you figure out what kind of fence you need and how to go about building and maintaining it.

A writer and adviser on sound farming practices, Rick Kubik offers clear and expert advice on what works best in certain areas and for particular purposes. His instructions for planning and constructing each variety of fencing takes the guesswork out of a job of critical importance to most landowners (and their neighbors).

This book, the first and essential tool for anyone thinking of building a fence, spares first-time and seasoned builders alike the wasted time and money of endless repairs and reconstruction.

Description: One of the first steps in garden design is finding an appropriate match of gardening and architectural styles. If you happen to love English cottage gardens and live in a sleek, modern house, this blending can be especially difficult. Inside Out presents plenty of positive inspiration for people struggling with this stylistic dilemma and may provide you with the just the ideas you've been searching for. Over a dozen different homes and gardens have been included here, each with a totally unique style. Ranging from a weathered summer house in Connecticut to an ultramodern desert retreat, each home has achieved an amazing blending of indoor and outdoor living space. Lush photos emphasize the particular areas of each house where this blending is at its most delightful, with an equal amount of views taken from inside and outside of the actual home. One small garage of a turn-of-the-century mansion is surrounded by old stone walls, lush terraces, and surprising spaces for sitting. The transformation the owners accomplished in creating this space from a debris-filled pit is tremendous, and the result is a serene escape from city life. The tropical-island space created in Miami is an altogether different story, crowded as it is with varieties of palm trees, vibrant flowers, and a spring-fed pool. The pool was transformed from its original rectangular shape and chlorinated water to a natural-looking blue-green pond framed with ferns, irregular decking, and a small waterfall. No matter what your taste or style, here you'll find gorgeous landscapes that showcase the best of the art of indoor-outdoor living. --Jill Lightner

Dream Porches and Sunrooms also highlights the important practical considerations to take into account before embarking on a porch project and selecting a suitable design. It concludes with a final chapter outlining the key choices and elements involved in the porch construction process, rendering them in a clear, concise manner using a mix of text and pictorial examples along with helpful checklists and sidebars.
