General information only

The guides, calculators and projects on DIY Outdoor Builds are general information for people building things for their own homes and gardens. They are not professional, engineering or legal advice, and they cannot take your site, materials, climate or skills into account.

Your responsibility

• Check local building codes, permits, planning rules and fire regulations before you build.
• Locate buried cables and pipes before you dig.
• Use a qualified professional for electrical, gas and structural work, and whenever a structure carries people or significant loads.
• Follow the instructions for your tools and materials, and use the protective equipment they call for.
• Calculator results are estimates for planning. Measure your own site and buy a margin.

Community content and real builds

Community projects are published by their builders and real builds come from other sources under open licenses. We do not check them for safety or accuracy; measurements and costs are the builders' own.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Oskar N. is not liable for loss, injury or damage arising from the use of information on this site. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law. See also our terms of service.
