3.0 out of 5 stars Good for play houses, but not for swing sets, etc., 4 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Backyard Play Areas You Can Make: Complete Plans and Instructions for Building Playhouses, Forts and Swing Sets (Paperback)

This book has great plans for building forts,play-houses, but it does not have much in the way of swings. If you want a swing set play area, better find another book.

A very good introduction on constuction. Reviews materials and details methods of building from foundation to roofing. This book also includes detailed plans for fifteen projects for all skill levels. A very good book to use, for the plans or just for the ideas and instructions.
