Also, you're almost completely immune to machine gun fire.

When he said "the only problem of building with sandbags is the sun" I honestly was expecting him to continue with "that's why we build them in england"

[tganet]

That self-congratulatory tone you've mastered is really endearing.

Next time you do it bro, only fill your sand bags 2/3 or 3/4 full. Spent years filling sandbags with the army. You'll find the bags sit a lot nicer on a wall or embankment if they aren't completely full.

Put mesh in the render, it won't crack 👍

Hell yeah man.i build a small hunting cabin using natural materials.everyone has been questioning its durability. The cabin was build with stone, Cobb, and timbers from my property 2 yrs later and it hasn't fallen apart yet.i expect it to last another 20-30 years if maintainef

In Sussex, England we used a similar technique for centuries but obviously not in plastic bags. The old saying was that it would be fine so long as it had a good hat and boots. This meant an overhanging roof as you have and some kind of waterproof foundation to stop rising damp.

He knows better then everyone about everything thats ever happened and will ever happen

Dirt houses are great. Same w hay bail houses. Its really about the stucco, ive always been a fan of wrapping the structures in chicken wire before stucco. Bits of wire pushed into bags or bails hold it to the wall and it is self supporting once its cured.

First I've seen. Very interesting and gave me ideas. Thanks

[greeney]

Fibreglass rendering mesh would probably stop the cracking. Satins lodge is looking cool bro

[TRIPPLEJAY]

[Better_Than_CeX]

all it needs is some barbed wire between em and a few stakes if you go high enough. it’s such a brilliant way to build as long as you have some floor and some elbow grease!
get on lad, you tell em 👊🏼😎

Why not use hessian bags to avoid the unnecessary embedded plastic?

[eardwulf]

Cavities also prevent damp from spreading to the internal walls
