Customer Reviews

Excellent photos and ideas!

I really enjoyed this book, being my first Sunset guide to gardening. With all of the excellent photos and drawings it gives you plenty of ideas for building outdoor structures. Granted, it is a short book and you won't be an expert after reading it, but it gives you plenty of information to get started with building beautiful garden trellises and arbors.

What a Great Book!

I've enjoyed countless hours curled up with my well-worn copy of "Trellises and Arbors." It's clearly written with numerous photos and drawings that show the details of construction. It even discusses choices of fasteners, woods, and alternative building materials. It also includes tables to calculate the materials you'll need to use. This book has encouraged me (a construction novice) to begin work on a grape arbor in my back yard.
