A hybrid straw bale wall system incorporates the best attributes of both load bearing and post and beam wall systems.

Benefits:

• The entire wall is bearing.
• The post and beam structure is engineered and receives a stamp.
• Straw bale compression both vertically and horizontally.
• Solid substrate for plaster.
• Bales on edge minimize wall footprint.
• Notching of bales eliminated.
• No line trimming straw bale fluff.
• Wood attachments for windows, doors, plaster prep, and more.
• Reference planes to help create straighter walls
