    • All in one guide with lots of creative ideas!
This book is a great addition to add to your homeowner DIY library. It has a lot of projects covering just about anything you may want to attempt outside. I have a lot of other Black&Decker DIY books, and they are ALL very well put together, laid out nicely, and most importantly, have clear, helpful pictures. This book is no exception. Each project has 8 or so photos of the main phases of the project. And usually the pictures are of the most important phases. This book is great, too, in that it inspires creativity and may make you want to have the nicest looking yard in the neighborhood! Great ideas, great photos, easy to read, and has practical adivce. One source for outdoor projects! Sheds, decks, porches, walking paths, pergolas, etc.. ... show more

    • Black + Decker: Complete Photo Guide to Outdoor Building -- Chocked full of useful projects and how-to
I have acquired an appreciation for B+D how-to books, and this is a great reference. Great diversity of projects. Pros: Covers walkways, fences and gates, decks, trellis and arbors, sections on designing and construction methods, materials, etc... wood, stone, concrete, synthetic -- in all great coverage. Note this is a "Photo" book, providing less text and fewer schematics than in previous DIY books. But the photos are all great, in color and worth the proverbial "1000 words". I also bought their companion "photo" book on building sheds, garages and other outbuildings, very helpful. Cons: this "new" book arrived with dirty finger smudges at both ends. Someone returned this item, and Amazon simply threw it back into the rotation. ... show more

    • Looove It!
I was able to see inside the book. That's when I knew I would buy it. It was perfect for the retaining wall I am building and other projects for a pretty big backyard. I would recommend this for anyone who would like to spruce up their outdoor spaces both present and future. Great Ideas also.

    • great hot to guide
I found and really love the Black and Decker photo guides, they are complete and detailed. If you were a kid that played with Lego's, K'nex, or a good old fashioned erector set and can follow the instruction you will be good to go. over all i would HIGHLY recommend this product.

    • Small Book
This book is not standard size - it is small - I am giving it as a gift for father's day and I do not think it will be used that much. I am sure it says in the description that it is a small book - I will watch out for this next time. If I was in a book store I would not have purchased this book and I do not recommend it ... show more

Excellent book! Full of great pictures and good for those who aren't particularly handy. This isn't a book for the professional builder, though it does give some really great ideas. I look forward to starting some of these projects!
