Earthbag Patio with a Paper Bag Floor
Outdoor Application
When we first heard about Paper Bag floors, we were intrigued. We love the look as it has an appearance of a marble floor. However, the information available online was for interior floors. Watch how we installed an outdoor earth bag patio and topped it with a paper bag floor…
Update
So far the floor is holding up nicely it this high traffic area. It is flexible so it appears lumpy in the cold weather and flat when it is hot. We are still hoping for a completely flat surface. We will post an updated picture(s) to document its wearability.

We moved from the city to the country in 2005. Since then, we have been building structures, raising livestock and growing some of our own foods. We are crazy about family, nutrition and want the best for our growing family.
