These fun and friendly courses will be held over two days and will cover all the essential areas of building with rammed earth.
We will cover many topics together and you will take away the confidence to go forward and complete a project of your own, to include:
- Design and location of your structure
- Footings and DPC
- Soil suitability – soil testing
- Earth blending – preparing earth mixes
- ‘Coffin’ former design – corners, curves and straights
- Tools – what to use and how to use them
- Ramming techniques
- Window and door openings – sills and lintels
- Bond Beams
- Green ‘living’ roofs
I have been inspired by what you all have achieved with rammed earth. Am presently building an estate and would be changing 100 percent of the designs to rammed earth.
Would be grateful if I could be given tips on methods.
I stay in Africa, Nigeria specifically after spending years in both Canada and south Africa.
Thank you so much for all the inspiration being shared
Hello Saheed,
If you get a copy of my Rammed Earth eManual that will get you going and avoid any mistakes.
Michael.
Please avail me with a manual on steps to achieve the best result on rammed earth structured
Love the website and your organisation from Trevor at Burgh Castle doing courses in flint and brickwork
I am so interested in making rammed earth house; but not sure this will be possible in my country Iran.
It would be wondering if you give me a guidance.
Good Day Dumplings,
I have Folks in Catfield and scattered around you,.
I am constructing Rammed earth in Asia and looking into Earthbags or rammed earth for large commercial Fish ponds ( well Australian crayfish actually)
I would like to achieve this without liners if possible
The soil type is clayey, hard as rock when dry, bog a duck when wet.
Have dug dams/ponds and had to treat with Bentonite to try to make them hold water,, but water still escapes and more than that remains unsatisfactory cloudy with clay
Was trying to source ancient reservoirs that may have been constructed with rammed earth. When I stumbled on your site..
Can you throw a fellow dumpling any guidance or point to relevant websites?
Cheers
What’s up all, here every one is sharing such knowledge,
so it’s nice to read this website, and I used to go to see
this web site everyday.
