Rammed Earth Building Course Comprehensive 2-day

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

"This course is suitable for people with or without a technical background. The rammed earth theory combined with the hands-on approach enables anyone to complete the course with the confidence to start a rammed earth project. Michael's enthusiasm is infectious, he sees only challenges; not problems. This course will motivate you to get stuck in and give it a go. And to top it all, the food is outstanding. If you do one course this year, make it this one!"
