In this video we document the construction of a cob house from the ground up in just 10 minutes! Cob is an ancient traditional building technique that utilizes the blending clay, sand, straw, and water to create an eco-friendly, sustainable home.
If you'd like to learn more about building a cob house, be sure to watch our full in-depth tutorial series which can be found on our "How To Build a Cob House" playlist.

Beautiful Build. Does somebody know if I could continue building the wall another day and the clay mix will still stick and add to the already build structure or is that an issue? Thanks

Yeah it’s fine you just want to make the top layer moist by spraying it down slightly in between layers. I add more detail if you want to check out the tutorial series. Thank you 🙏

How many baills do you think you go through when you make That cob dirt mixture for the walls ?

What is reason for adding donkey manure?

@naturalbuildings 22 күн бұрын

12 inches at base and tapers up to about 8 inches at the top. Manure has fibers that add tensile strength and the enzymes also can help make a strong plaster. Not entirely necessary though. Chopped straw can be just as effective if you prefer not to work with manure

What is the benefit of manure?

@naturalbuildings 2 ай бұрын

Mainly the small fibers create tensile strength in the mix but the enzymes also help to bond the mix together. It’s possible to skip the manure and use other fibers like chopped straw instead.

Frankly it's too much labor intensive... all those people for such a small hut!

Yes cob is very labor intensive. Not practical for achieving affordable sustainable housing on a larger scale efficiently. We will be building with other hybrid models of natural building here on the channel soon that will be more efficient so be sure to subscribe if you want to check those out :)

Every technique has appropriate applications. Here in south Africa we have high unemployment and low labor costs. Building with cob works out, and teaches low income folks how to build sustainably and cheaply.
