Bricks For A Garden Wall

When you’re looking at bricks for a garden wall you need to have a think about the sort of bricks you require, would you like the bricks for your garden wall to match the rest of your house or would you prefer that they match the feel of your garden?

If you have an overgrown garden that welcomes nature such as beautiful butterflies, frogs from neighbouring ponds or even sweet singing birds then you may chose to have bricks for a garden wall that look old, rustic and country life style. However if your garden is clean and exact with the bricks on full show you may decide that the bricks for the garden wall match your house exactly.

Whichever option you decide, the team at Brick Hunter can help. You can either send them a photo of the wall you want the bricks matched too or you could describe the bricks for the garden wall that you have been picturing for your garden.  Brick Hunter will help you choose the bricks for your garden wall; however you want it to look.

As much as freestanding walls can attractive, robust and enduring it is very important that you make careful attention to the design and specification of the garden wall. The relative slenderness of your brick wall can affect the stability of the wall when met with horizontal forces such as strong winds.

Even if your garden wall is between neighbouring homes in a town or city you may find that a wall; of only half brick is just not thick enough and when above 725mm in height can be unstable and even dangerous.

Designing your garden brick wall for worst case scenarios such as a tornado or hurricane would be classed as uneconomic but in many cases you will find that designing the garden wall for average exposure can be a very dangerous idea.

 

It is highly recommended that you contact the guys at Brick Hunter, not only can they help you find the right bricks for a garden wall, they can also recommend the best measurements for your garden brick wall – ensuring safety and stability.
