Arkville Maze, New York
Garden mazes are usually built from hedges, but there are examples made from wooden fences and even masonry
The aim is usually to find your way to the centre
and then back out again, without too much damage
Some mazes are flat, or 2-Dimensional
Kentwell Hall, Suffolk
Since they are often geometric in design, the pattern of a maze can easily be converted to brickwork
If you follow the blue line, it starts bottom-left and ends in the centre

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 cutsFriday, 19 November 2010
some writting in dark blue
another kind of dark blue
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
