Forgive me if this is the incorrect place, it seemed closest but I am new to post here.
I had the idea to either use rammed earth, CEB, or earth bags to build a fence for goats. It would be very time and labor intensive, but cheap and doable over a long period of time.
I was thinking, in the case of RE/CEB/EB that using a water soluble masonry sealant would be enough to seal water out for good, perhaps having to use multiple layers. I am aware of the linseed oil/turpentine method, but that comes out more expensive.
I am also wondering if it is even possible to fully water proof RE/CEB/EB? This idea only works if so. Plus, I would stabilize any of the options, except maybe EB, with say 10% concrete. Also, considered putting down a small concrete layer for the fence to rest on, just to prevent moisture from getting in and making it stronger. I guess a liner would work for moisture as well.
Could some of you beautiful people throw some advice or knowledge my way? Thank you!
