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

Design Sustainable Buildings Assessment 1: Alternative Wall Construction - Straw Bale Wall History

Straw house in Paleolithic Era Straw houses have been built on the African plains since the P aleolithic  Era. Straw bales were used in construction 400 years ago in Germany; and straw-thatched roofs have long been used in northern Europe and Asia. When European Settlers came to North America,  t eepees  were insulated in winter with loose straw between the inner lining and outer cover. Straw-bale construction was greatly facilitated by the mechanical hay baler, which was invented in the 1850s and was widespread by the 1890s. It proved particularly useful in the N ebraska Sandhills . Pioneers seeking land under the 1862 H omestead Act  and the 1904 K inkaid Act  found a dearth of trees over much of Nebraska. In many parts of the state, the soil was suitable for dugouts  and s od houses . However, in the Sandhills, the soil generally made poor construction sod; in the few places where suitable sod could be found, it was more valuable for agriculture than as a building material.
