Do-It-Yourself Garden Project Planner Software -
Plans for Garden Structures
Big
Hammer software has a great package of plans for
assorted garden structures.
Do-It-Yourself Project Planner: Assorted Projects
($29.95)
features 35 plans including: decks, sheds,
playhouses, a doghouse, arbors, gazebos, fences, picnic tables, planters, and
outdoor furniture.
For each plan you can display and print a
complete materials list. And you can add or remove
items from the list as required.
For example, if
you want to build the project without exterior trim and
accessories such as windows, window boxes, and
benches, you can remove all related materials from
the list.
The plans themselves are PDF documents so you
need the free Acrobat Reader to view them. Included
are the overall plan view, the pier layout plan,
framing plan, elevation plans, and accessories
plans, such as benches or window boxes.
Here's a sampling of the projects available with
the software:
The Cedarville gazebo is a charming,
non-fussy structure that makes a perfect spot for
entertaining.
The Guardian arbor is a gate and arbor plan
all in one.
Free Full-Color Outdoor Project Ebook
There is also a free ebook that comes
with
Do-it-Yourself Project Planner:
Assorted Projects. The manual is over 400
pages of step-by-step instructions and color
photographs for building everything from sheds, to
decks, gazebos, and firepits. An ebook this size is
a really unusual. The photographs themselves are
superb. A very good value.
