Waru fiber-aluminium laminate composite is engineering materials which have high stiffness, strength properties and weight to strength ratio. The aim of this study is to find out the effect of the number of waru fiber to tensile strength on laminate composite waru fiber-Aluminium. The process of laminating composite waru fiber-aluminium is done by vacuum infusion resin method with layers variation 1, 2, 3, 4 and fiber direction 45/45 angle woven basket. The result shows that the tensile strength of the waru-Al fiber composite decreases and the elongation value of the composite increases due to the addition of layers of fiber waru lower bond strength on adhesive-aluminum and adhesive-waru. The lowest tensile strength of 153,642 MPa has occurred in composite with 4 layers of waru fibre.
