CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
How to Build Wooden Gates and Picket Fences -
The Title of this book is totally misleading; it shows how to build the most basic of all gates the "Z" Frame, big deal. It does not show how to build any other style of Gate of any of the pitfalls one could encounter.
This book is very poor in content and uses a lot of old style drawings obviously copied form some ancient book or something.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK; I am thoroughly disgusted with myself that
I trusted the Title.
This is the worst book I have ever purchased.

Simply Beautiful -
This book was really fun to browse through and look at all the different styles. I'm sure I saw some of the fences in the book when on vacation in colonial Williamsburg. In the end, we decided on a pretty simple picket style and used some of the techniques suggested in the book to add interest by using varying heights and accents on the gate posts and gate itself. It turned out beautifully and the book was a big help in finding the style.
Wish I would have found this book first -
This book is great! I've never seen a book with so many styles of fences that would go with so many different types of architecture. I also like how the material and illustrations are presented to allow the reader to easily see and compare the many different styles. The first fence books I bought had a few nice photos with trees and flowers, but, the fences themselves were not that special.
I think it is much easier to see the fences for their own style and appearance the way they are presented in this book. If you are looking for an abundance of design ideas, this book has no equal.
If you don't have a Victorian, forget this book -
It's a very nicely drawn & explained book but if you have any other style home other than Victorian, there are limited styles that would match. Also, you have to order patterns separately.

Very Useful -
I own a Victorian Cottage in Texas and purchased this book hoping for some ideas on building my own unique picket fence. The book has tons of pictures and drawings of fence designs. We actually used two different designs and came up with a "one of a kind" fence around our yard. It became the talk of the town for a while and now our house is known as "the one with the fence"!
The book is a little short on details of building the fences, but if you are skilled with tools, you will figure it out. We are starting our second fence with it this month, which we hope is a masterpiece. I recommend this book if you need Victorian fence ideas.
