Online Straw Bale Building Workshop

Want to know how to build a straw bale house? Our straw bale building workshop gives you all the information you need to build your own straw bale home- from foundations to roof.

This online building course covers all of the structural components involved in building your strawbale home. Furthermore, the course is made up of actual video footage with concise explanation of each and every step.

Whilst many tradespeople have found the course extremely valuable, it is targeted at people with no construction experience- empowering ANYONE to build their own straw bale home.

If you aren’t happy (and we mean 100% satisfied!!) within 30 days of working on the course, you can resign from the course and we will give your money back! If you aren’t convinced that we’re worth it by then, we don’t deserve your money.
