The PlansThese detailed plans come as a downloadable 89-page, full-color PDF ebook, written for beginners (though some prior DIY experience is a plus, given the size of the project). Tools and materials, measurements, cuts, techniques -- everything is spelled out with step-by-step instructions, illustrations, pictures, and tips. Both U.S. (feet/inches) and metric (mm) measurements are included. And as with all of our plans, you get email support from the designer should you need it.
Tools Needed
Circular saw, power drill/driver, tape measure, level, sawhorses, handsaw, hammer, pliers, speed square, clamps, metal snips, shovel, bow rake, step ladder, paint brush, rubber mallet, personal protective gear, and a pneumatic stapler (optional, for faster work).
Materials CostAll materials are standard and easy to find. Budget around $1200-$1500 pre-tax.
