1. HOW TO CONSTRUCT GARDEN WALLS
BY STEW
RANGE OF MATERIALS NEEDED:
DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF WALL BEING BUILT YOU
WOULD NEED THE MATERIAL THE WALL IS BEING MADE
FROM, THIS COULD BE BRICK, BREEZE BLOCK, CONCRETE
BLOCKS, STONE OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF MATERIAL SUCH
AS A WOODEN CONSTRUCTION.
BRICK AND MASONRY PROVIDE A SOLID STRONG
CONSTRUCTION WHEN USED WITH THE RIGHT MORTAR AND
A GOOD QUALITY PLASTICISER TO KEEP THE BOND STRONG
THE TYPE OF BOND CAN ADD FURTHER STRENGTH AND
ASCTETIC QUALITY TO THE FINISHED WALL.
MORTAR IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THE BRICK TOGETHER
AND IT’S CORRECT RATIO MIX IS ESSENTIAL IN PROVIDING
A HOLD THAT WILL LAST PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE WALL
SUCH AS FROM WEATHER AND VIBRATION OR PRESSURE.

3. TYPES OF BRICK BONDS
The way the brick is laid and the style the brick is laid is called a bond.
There are various types of bonds that are suitable depending on the location, purpose and
size of the wall. Below are different styles of bonds and the benefits of each.
STRETCHER BOND
HEADER BOND
Easy to construct it is a simple pattern of bricks that
are laid side by side length wise, they can be laid as a
double thickness with a metal tie between each layer
for stability
Just as easy to build as a stretcher bond it’s laid sideways in a
simple row pattern, the exposed end of the brick means the wall
can be used to display a pattern by colouring certain bricks for
good effect.

4. ENGLISH BOND
FLEMISH BOND
.

RECOMMENDED PLASTICISER<<<<<<
A traditional bond using headers and stretchers alternatively.
It is a strong bond due to this configuration and has variations
such as Scottish bond which is five stretchers for every header
A variation on English bond with the headers and stretchers alternating on the
same row due to the arrangement of the bricks the brick overlap with two
stretchers resting on top of two headers making it a thick wall like the English
bond
