Library Journal Review

Expand your outdoor space with a beautiful deck. Builder and author Toht (Stanley Easy Kitchen Upgrades) guides readers through the whole process. Kicking off with a nice gallery of designs, the topics of planning, tools, and materials are detailed. There is great instruction for safe use of power tools. Throughout are useful tips and techniques, and step-by-step instructions are accompanied by excellent illustrations. This is a great go-to for deck planning and building. It's very similar in coverage to Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Decks, 6th ed. VERDICT This solid manual covers all the bases with skill and expertise and is highly recommended. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
