Woven Polypropylene Tubes (Superadobe Bags)

Unfilled woven polypropylene tube rolls (also known as Earthbag or Superadobe) are the main construction material for all flexible form rammed earth structures. Tubular rolls are cut to the desired length to give you a continuous span that will provide tensile and compression strength well beyond short sandbags. "Flexible form" means you can conform the bags to nearly any configuration conceivable from sharp angles to elegant curves. While the infrastructure possibilities are seemingly limitless, the most common structures are:

  • Houses
  • Storage Sheds
  • Retaining Walls
  • Privacy Walls
  • Flood and Erosion Control
  • Landscaping
