ABSTRACT:
The invention is a custom bale (10) comprising compressed fibrous material, integral load-bearing structural supports (20), and multiple cinctures (22) for use in construction. One embodiment utilizes an inverted-lip U-channel connector (28) as a bond beam that snaps onto the upper ends of the integral load-bearing structural supports (20) to connect the bales (10) to the roof. U channel splices (36) and (38) connect the inverted-lip U channels (28) together to form a complete bond beam around the house. The inverted-lip U channel (28) is also used as the window sill frame (41), window header (43), and footing beam. Bales with properly sized and oriented integral load-bearing structural supports (20) can also be used as posts and beams.
