    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.

  3. Are you talking a little out, say less than 10o, or a major angle?!

    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.

  5. 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?

    There are companies about who will make you specials by diamond sawing and bonding standard bricks.

    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?
