Greenhouses & Garden Sheds contains hundreds of beautiful photographs featuring the finest examples of these structures. It presents clear choices and design features in a way that inspires as it educates. Readers will find a wealth of information to help lead them through the design and selection process.

 THINKING OF BUILDING A GREENHOUSE OR SHED? GET YOUR INSPIRATION RIGHT HERE! February 28, 2009

This is a 5 star DIY book. The MSRP on the book is 19.99; I paid under 13.00 for it through Amazon Prime. GREENHOUSES AND GARDEN SHEDS is quite the bargain! This book is literally packed with inspiration! Replete with full color pictures, the author gives you step by step instructions on building a variety of styles as simple as a PVC hoop house to a permanent A-frame structure. He explains zoning requirements, lighting, plumbing, building site location recommendations, and the pros and cons of using various building materials; oh geez, just gobs and gobs of great information! It is chock-full of ideas, practical and beautiful. I have not built my dream-house greenhouse yet but now I am chompin' at the bit to get started.
While experienced craftsmen may not be as impressed as I am with the information in this book, it is perfect for the layperson. The lovely photos feature gorgeous examples of the various types of greenhouses and garden sheds. One cannot help but get motivated to build. The wealth of knowledge shared in this book will educate you. I dare say that even the professional carpenter would be inspired by the beauty and functionality of the designs in this book.
As a bonus the author also includes step by step plans for other easy garden projects such as planter boxes, a coldframe, a potting table, a bench, and a few other goodies. Simple? Yes, but maybe a good way to break yourself in to basic carpentry skills.
This would be a fun book to 'cozy up with' on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Informative book with great ideas! March 20, 2009

After having read several greenhouse books, I found this one to be better than all of the rest. It has very good illustrations and really practical ideas for both greenhouses and garden sheds. I wish I had invested in this book before I started building a greenhouse...

I originally borrowed this book from the library and once I had read it, i just had to have it. It contains everything you could want to know about greenhouses including where to position it, structure design options, internal layout options,heating, watering,lighting,as well as growing plants, flowers and vegetables,the lot. It also covers cold frames and hot frames as well as garden sheds. Whether you are planning to build your own or buy a greenhouse kit, this book will still provide lots of information you need to know to be successful with greenhouse growing.
