Continues On Framing Step Two Window Frame

From the last step we continue on the frame of our Straw Bale wall.

Before we place the batten on the frame we measure the distance of our window and label the point by pen on the batten then placing the other timber on the frame so that the measurement don't get error as possible as we can, after that we place right angle plate between two batten to hold them together by bolts so they are tight and stable.

Picture below is the frame that we finally get by the method previously.

Using the same method another side of the wall frame is done, after the window frame is placed we connect the two column with timber that we cut out previously with the width of 300mm as our window size are 300x300mm.

HOW TO BUILD A STRAW BALE WALL

HOW TO BUILD A STRAW BALE WALL Straw bales can be constructed like brick walls. The bales are stacked on a concrete foundation and a moisture-proof material (heavy plastic) is used between the concrete and the bales to prevent any moisture from entering the walls from the ground. They are held by high-strength fences or rods that attach to the “board” and are as strong as wooden frames or slabs to securely secure the bale to the foundation. If a wire is used, it will pass through a curved "multiple tube" which is placed into the foundation. Many Australian designs simply use reinforced mesh as the top plate and high-strength fence line as a bondage. The bales can be stacked on a plane or on the edges and can be engraved to fit. One technique we developed was to save the cost and resources of building a garden wall by using bales on the edge rather than on the plane. The base can be narrower and use fewer packages. The top plate is a 300 mm wide trench net purchased at ...
