Straw Bale Homes

In preparing for our upcoming straw bale workshop, we are building a post and beam house with round pole framing. Here are a few pictures of how it’s coming along. We are going to put earthbag around the outside of the concrete footers and stack the straw bales on top of that. We may need to call in reinforcements to get it ready in time for the workshop.

And here it is a few days later with the rafters and bender-board roof decking…

Earthbag filled with limestone gravel for the foundation.

Here are some of the many strawbale construction projects we have worked on.
