This document describes a generic Sand Bag Building System that makes use of a timber ladder frame and was first developed as an instruction manual for a project for new Staff housing at Twinstreams Environmental Centre in Mtunzini on the Northern Coast of Kwa-ZuluNatal. The project was completed in 2004. This project and its innovative building system went on to win the Africa Sustainable Building Best Practice Award for residential projects in 2004.
This essential guide introduces the principles and methods of sandbag construction. It offers clear, step-by-step instructions from making the sandbags to assembling the timber ladder frames, designed for both beginners and practitioners.
The manual includes a list of recommended suppliers and is richly illustrated throughout to support every stage of the process. (96 A4 pages)
