Considerations

50 straw bale house plans
● Straw Bale Module. Most plans are based on either a 3 foot (two string) 1. 1030
or 4 foot (three string) bale module, with design decisions (outside wall DAVID.....
dimensions, window size and placement for example) strongly influenced by this east
module. Most plans can be designed and built using either three or four tie bales west
(with window size and placement modified accordingly). A 12 foot wall section south
for example, can be constructed with 4 three foot bales, or three 4 foot bales. In north
the real world of straw bale home building, the bale module often gets ignored
elev.
for other considerations.

● Load Bearing Option. Generally, the smaller and simpler the plan, the 4. 1042 Habitat
more likely one has the option of using load bearing construction (which may be 5. 1065 Clover
less expensive). As size and complexity increase, it becomes more likely that post 6. 1075 Octagon
and beam construction will be required. Often, a hybrid system is possible, with
post and beam or stick construction on the south wall (with more windows), load
bearing on the north wall (assuming few and small windows), and maybe a center
suport post and beam system.
Feedback
I am looking for feedback, primarily on my Straw Bale Design Concepts...to help me determine where to go from here with my design work...and with this
site in general...what are the community needs that can be met in part from this site. Thanks...Robert.
