Product Description

This book is the first comprehensive guide to all the tools, tricks and techniques for building with bags filled with earth -- earthbags. Introduced to sandbag construction by the renowned Nader Khalili in 1993, the authors have developed this 'Flexible Form Rammed Earth Technique' over the last decade. A reliable method for constructing homes, outbuildings, garden walls and much more, this enduring, tree-free architecture can also be used to create arched or domed structures of great beauty -- in any climate, and at home, in developing countries, or in relief work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superlative manual for construction, 1 Feb 2007

By	A Reader (Switzerland) - See all my reviews

A book superbly presented covering every imaginable detail for construction of earthbag houses. Very practically orientated with excellent appendices and references. This book alone should suffice for your construction needs. Emphasis is on construction in dry arid climates, but temperate zones are considered too.
