Natural fibers have been used to reinforce materials for over 200 years. The aim of this study is to evaluate mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural properties of hybrid banana and sisal reinforced epoxy composites they have been employed in combination with plastics. Natural fibers like as hemp, jute, sisal and banana. It’s have the advantage that they are renewable resources and have marketing appeal these agricultural wastes can be used to prepare fiber The composites have many advantages over traditional glass fiber and inorganic materials. In this paper, test are conducted for composite material constitutes banana and less discovered sisal These composites are adhered using epoxy resin consists resin and hardener suitably mixed in appropriate volume Here for preparing samples Hand layup method is used , specimens are prepared and tests are carried out , which shows tensile and bending strengths. The tensile & compressive tests were applied on specimens of 300×50×10 mm in dimensions but in different proportions of banana and sisal by weight.
