Earth building is also known as Super-Adobe. It is an affordable and sustainable way to build homes anywhere in the world. You should fill Polypropylene woven tubing or earth bags with damp earth, tamper down and arranged in layers to form a dome. Strands of barbed wire secure each layer while acting as reinforcement. Builders should render over permanent structures with a mixture of earth and cement to protect the polypropylene from the elements and strengthen the structure. Earth building is a fast and flexible construction method which the whole family can enjoy. Customers use Earth building material to build Eco Dome houses, retaining walls and for flood & erosion control.
When built correctly, Eco Domes are earthquake, fire and flood resistant structures which can accomodate a single person or a large family.
