Project Plans by Stiles Designs, Inc.
David and Jeanie Stiles have been called America's first couple of DIY building projects. Together, they have written a total of twenty-five "how-to" books on woodworking projects that range from tree houses and forts, to sheds, gazebos, garden houses, cabins and workshops.
In addition to their writing, they have appeared on numerous television programs, including HGTV, the Discovery Channel, and The Today Show, during which they built a treehouse in three hours. David and Jeanie divide their time between New York City and East Hampton, N.Y. where they live in a barn they renovated themselves; here they build many of the projects featured in their books.
David's hand drawn project plans are provided in Portable Document Format (Adobe PDF) for immediate download after your online purchase.
The Hobbit House
Designer: Stiles Designs, Inc.Size: 5' x 3'-6" with a 2'-6" porchPrice: $19.95 This Hobbit House was inspired by the architecture of the houses shown in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, written during the mid- 1900s.

Potting Shed Plans

Cordwood Shed
Designer: Stiles Designs, Inc. Size: 9′ x 7′ Price: $19.95 The most outstanding feature of this shed is the fact that it is built using short pieces of logs. Not only are these readily available, but they provide good insulation as well. We used long-lasting locust from trees that were blown down during a hurricane; however, any type of hardwood will do if you treat it with a wood preservative once the shed is built.
