i suppose it would IF there was a major shift in the bags,but otherwise you are just nicking the bags with the barbs enough to hold them in place as the work progresses..
oh its sloped, everything here is sloped.. lol. the back wall in the photo is about 4 feet high,so thats a 4 foot drop in 8 feet. and thats one of the flatter spots on the property..lol
because georgia clay is,,well,, clay,seepage isnt a problem here. this will be our third underground project here (again easiest way to build as we have NO flat spots). first was a sweat lodge,second was the root cellar and now this.
we have found that simply by digging a drain channel around the high side and down the sides,then covering the whole thing with a couple layers of 6mil plastic, making sure it lays in the drain channels before we cover everything with dirt is all that is needed to keep the inside dry.
the sweat lodge is now 6 years young and it doesnt leak a bit,root cellar is 4 years young and the same results..
awesome heiwa.. you just made my day and it hasnt really started yet.. :)
i LOVE the bee hive style.. is there a reason yall decided on the bags rather than the tubes?? if we were to ever do a bee hive structure i think i am leaning towards using the tubes..
would love to read your thoughts on this..
