Course details
Learn to build using what mother nature provides, within my own Rammed Earth Eco-Shed on The Norfolk Broads!
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
This is what the previous course students say...
"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!"
