While makers of indoor furniture need to consider the swelling and contraction of wood due to seasonal changes in relative humidity, outdoor furniture builders must also allow for the fact that their pieces will occasionally be drenched in water, dried by the wind, and baked by the sun.

Included in the book are projects for outdoor chairs, benches, tables, swings, gliders and other garden structures.
