5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for the novice and experienced deck builder, 8 Jun 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Building Decks (Black & Decker Outdoor Home) (Paperback)

This book takes you from the basic in joints and deck supports right upto building massive decks to put a hot tub in. There are 100's of full colour pictures and diagrams to help you along.

I wanted to build a circular deck and this book showed me how to do it.

As the book is american all the measurements are in inches so you need to convert into mm

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book and you will be able to build your own deck, 12 Dec 2004

By	Mr. G. A. Wassell "zdriver" (Stansted, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Building Decks (Black & Decker Outdoor Home) (Paperback)

Buy this book and no matter what your skill level you will be able to build your own deck. I read this book and was even more convinced I could build my own deck. The deck I am planning to build is very large, will have a hot tub in it and be multi level. I have every confidence that I will be able to do it myself and when visiting local timber merchants who sell decking I discovered that I knew more than them. It stops them from giving you BS. I posted the book to my father-in-law who's is going to help me. He phoned me two days later and reckons that the book has given him everything he needs to know in order to build the deck.

If you are planning a complex or a simple deck this book has it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decking for the novice made easy, 14 May 2004

By	"derekgallagher2" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Building Decks (Black & Decker Outdoor Home) (Paperback)

This is an excellent book, the detailed descriptions are explained in layman terms and there are plenty of pictures to put everything into perspective. I am by no means a DIY expert but I am confident that I will be able to build a deck with the help of this book.
