Product Description

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.

About the Author
Kaki Hunter and Donald Kiffmeyer have been involved in the construction industry for the last 20 years, specialising in affordable, low-tech, low-impact building methods that are as natural as possible. They developed the FFRET of building affordably with earthbags and have taught the subject and contributed their expertise to several booka and journals on natural building.

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.
