Not sure yet? Have Questions?

Well you're in luck. We've spent the last 6 years laying thousands of feet of bag, publishing hundreds of videos documenting our journey, teaching others our process, and running multiple workshops here on the property so we know a thing or two about hyperadobe earthbags.

What is Hyperadobe?

Hyperadobe earthbags use a polyethylene UV treated raschel mesh tube that can be filled with a mix of clay, sand, aggregate, and cement in any shape or length you wish. In contrast to Superadobe earthbags, no barbed wire is required as the netted mesh allows the material from the lower layer to lock into the new layer.

How Many Rolls Do I Need?

Feel free to use our handy roll calculator above! Or read on for the nerdy details. Add all perimeter wall lengths (i.e. a 10'x10' building would be 40 linear feet)Add the length of buttresses and internal walls (i.e. 2x 3' buttresses and a 9' internal wall would be 15 linear feet)Decide the height of the wall to calculate how how many layers you’ll need.

We've laid a lot of Hyperadobe over the years, and these are by far the highest quality bags we've ever seen.The tightly wound polyethylene raschel knit tubing is super strong. No splits or blowouts when tamping.The UV protection is a built-in additive so the bags don't break down in harsh Arizona sun. They're estimated to last up to 4 years in high elevation desert conditions.
