Building Small Barns, Sheds & Shelters Kindle Edition

Full of good information and detailed illustrations. Wish I found this before I started building instead of on the home stretch. If you are doing your own building and have drive but little know-how, this book is a great one to have. Right now I am using the section on how to hang doors. Everything is easy to understand. Examples of information: characteristics of different wood types, rafter lengths, space requirements for various livestock, how much different feeds and bedding weigh, fencing requirements, how to build fences and gates, every aspect of building animal shelters, how to do electrical wiring, etc. Best of all, lots of helpful detailed illustrations.

Bought this out of interest since I'm going to be building a small horse barn. It's not as helpful as I'd hoped, having only a couple designs specifically for horses, but it did help to give me some ideas. If you were looking to build more like general purpose barns, etc, this book would probably be more useful to you.

The other reviews are right, this book is very broad in its information and is detailed and useful. I am very experienced in construction but I think someone with no prior experience could build a building from scratch with the information in this book!

I learned how to build a shed, and a small barn with this book. I have never built anything before. This is a must for anyone that wants to build their own building. I bought the first one and someone talked me out of it, as I would take it to my site. I had used it so much that it was getting really tattered, and gave it away, and bought myself a new one. It was worth every cent, and then some.

Needing to build a shelter for my chickens and ordered this book to reference ideas.I had bought a copy some years ago and someone borrowed it.

a great, no nonsense book filled with practical, helpful and valuable advice. I'm enjoying reading this due to it's simplicity and actual, genuinely good guidance. I look forward to making use of nearly all aspects of construction; foundation and building.

This book pretty much just had construction drawings, not much info on how to build.

Very informative book, but I evidently did not read description too well. It is WAY over my head in instructions to build a structure. It would be great for someone who has some knowledge of constructing but needs more detail. Gave it 4 star for that reason.

not great

Everything

Excellent book. Really helpful and informative. Thanks

All good
