Bricks are a different size in America and the original was framed by specials, but the following panel is similar

Brickwork designed by Anne Nov '10

This panel is framed by headers and two-third bricks. The central pattern would have to be drawn full-scale to provide a template for the cuts

When I was given this task I felt like I couldn’t do it, it looked so difficult. Everyone thinks it’s easy but that’s not right

First you must read the plan properly, making sure everything’s right. Secondly is to make sure the area is right for the brickwork. It’s no good just starting to lay bricks as that will be wrong

Take your tape measure and check out the area, checking how high the wall is and making sure it will fit in. Next you must think about all the area around you as you will need plenty of space for bricks, blocks, spot board and some space for you to work in. If you have a small space and you can’t properly turn around, it’s not safe and could be dangerous – which would be a bad move

How to make wall stronger

Alright, I don’t mean putting glue in the cement or something, you can make the wall stronger with blockwork. The blockwork is built between the brick wall with block pillar bonding to make it strong, safe for you and people around you and to prevent it from falling over
