Garden Retreats - Book Reviews by Readers Octagonal
Summerhouse
11' diameter plus deck
Diane Bintz, Salt Lake City, UTAH writes "I'm planning on using quite a few of the projects in my yard. Your plans are great. Easy to understand, and the diagrams help too. (The tips sections are wonderful.)"

Baizan from San Francisco writes "Lovely, daydream book. This is one I'll keep going back too - in fact some of these projects are really do-able! My only caveat is that the type face, although pretty, is different for old eyes to make out even with reading glasses. Fortunately the pictures are lovely enough to be worth the price, all by themselves."

"For the gardener-carpenter with know-how, this book will be invaluable. 22 garden structures including benches, tables, pergolas and gazebos." George Cohen, from Booklist

"This husband and wife team up to write clear, simple, easy-to-follow directions for constructing useful, long-lasting and well-designed objects for the garden. Twenty how-to projects are expertly illustrated and described." from the Advocate, Baton Rouge, LA
