Building with Cob

This practical book covers everything from design, planning and siting, to roofs, insulation and floors.

Lavishly illustrated with inspirational colour photographs, the book explains how this ancient practice has been used throughout Britain for centuries.

Cob building uses a simple mixture of clay sub-soil, aggregate, straw and water to create solid structural walls built without shuttering or forms, on to a stone plinth.

This book is great for beginners who want to experiment with this practical material and is equally as beneficial for those who’d like to improve on their cob building knowledge.
