Editorial policy

Last updated November 12, 2026. Responsible for content: Oskar N. ([email protected]).

What we publish

We publish step-by-step guides for garden, outdoor and woodworking projects, calculators, real builds documented by other people under open licenses, and community projects posted by members. Each kind is labelled on the page so you always know who made it.

How guides are written

Guides are drafted with AI assistance and edited and published by Oskar N.. They are based on established, widely used building and gardening practice. We do not copy, spin or lightly rewrite other people's articles, plans or instructions. Where a guide relies on a specific source, it is listed under the guide.

We do not claim first-hand experience we do not have. Unless a guide has a “What we learned building this” section with our own photos, it is not based on a test build of ours.

How numbers are checked

• Every cut list gives lengths in inches and millimetres, and the site build fails if the two disagree by more than a millimetre.
• Materials and size lines must give metric alongside imperial measurements.
• Calculator formulas are covered by automated tests, and each calculator page shows a worked example you can check by hand.
• We do not quote prices, because they vary by country and season; costs are described as levels unless a real build's own figures are quoted and labelled as such.

Safety and local rules

Guides include safety notes and, where permits, fire rules, buried services, frost depth or structural loads matter, a reminder to check local rules. We do not give structural designs for work that needs one; see our disclaimer.

Photos and credits

Illustrations are drawn by our own code. Photos come from their photographers under licenses that allow reuse (public domain, CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA), and each one is credited with the author, license and source. Real builds credit the builders, link the original and are shared under the same license as the source.

Updates and corrections

When we change a guide in substance, we update its “Updated” date; we never backdate. Send corrections to [email protected]. Clear errors are fixed promptly; if a fix changes a measurement or safety advice, we say so in the guide.

Advertising and affiliate links

Advertising, if shown, is labelled and kept away from buttons and forms, and it never affects what we write. We do not currently use affiliate links; if we add them, every page with such links will say so.
