Hi All, Just thought I would run this past the people that know. I am building run of double skin brick garden walls about 3.5 feet tall brick on edge on top. The problem is that the walls don't meet at 90 deg so would you: cut and stick the bricks (class b eng) birdsmouth or cant or I also thought about a 1.5 brick pillar at the junction of each wall. or do you have any other ideas? I am hoping to keep cost down if poss. Cheers.
Sometimes curves can work & look better than cant or birdmouth. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...CK.pdf&usg=AFQjCNGAu1V6n_FeqLNXyEiTpq9bpwGdGw
if looking at birdsmouth or cant then it's more than 10º, a external angle brick starts at about 30º, same with a squint & a cant just has a corner removed at a angle. CANT. SQUINT.
Thanks for the exp - I didn't know what 'cant' was. Nor 'birdsmouth' when referring to bricks... 'Squint' looks like a more doable solution - you only have to get the outside vertical cut neat, and the actual angle isn't critical. With the 'cant', all the cut faces would need to be pretty spot-on?
Connection back. There are many types of specials, a lot not available in Class B engineering brick. Here a good Ibstock pdf linky. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwi7s7bC5djVAhVkKsAKHQSkDF8QFgg0MAE&url=http://www.ibstock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/09-27-Cut-and-bond-and-manufactured-brick-special-shapes.pdf&usg=AFQjCNEoNIDlQ1VHVO-scZhj1QHrYUuyGQ
Hi, Tried the curved idea but can't get a curve to work (I do like watching Rob Songer it seems very calming). So do you think the squints are the best way to go?
