Book Reviews of Building a Deck: Expert Advice from Start to Finish (Taunton's Build Like a Pro)
Book Review: Agreed
Summary: 5 Stars
After doing my own research, I ended up purchasing this book. I agree completely with the other reviews - its the best book, its the only book you need, and I congratulate the author on making this a flexible yet thorough resource that guides you pictorally through every step of the process. Just plain awesome, and I just finished my deck and I love it - it exceeds my expectations and its due to the advice in these pages.Book Review: Beginner to Expert, Something for all.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a firm believer in the KISS method of doing things. (Keep It Simple Stupid") Every step is covered in this book so that anyone can learn from it. The "Build Like A Pro" series of books are all laid out like this one. The "Expert Tips" are great. They show you short cuts to help you do the jobs right, but in less time. This is stuff you only learn by doing the job everyday. They are trade secrets.Book Review: Deck Building
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book that will give you a lot to think about and some details on how to build your deck. Do not expect that it will cover everything and every little detail but it was very helpful to me and gave me confidance in what I was doing. I ended up building a split tier deck attached to the house of a surface area of 480ft with built in benches and planters. Could not do it without the book.Book Review: Very thorough
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product because one of the reviews of the other deck books said that this was the best book. My husband has learned a lot from it, and hopefully one day, we will actually have a deck in our yard :) Seriously, this is a good book, it is very thorough from beginning to end of the project. Highly recommended.Book Review: best deck building book I found
Summary: 5 Stars
I am planning to design and build a large (40x15) deck, and I bought several books to learn about the process. This is far and away the best of the lot. Plenty of detail for each part of the deck. Great diagrams and pictures. Lots of great "tricks of the trade." Very readable. Highly recommended.
