does anyone know how thick a brick wall usually is.
like a wall for a garden. does the height matter. |
|

|
bricks come in different thicknesses, and height matters. the center of gravity changes the higher you stack

average red brick.
eight by four by two and a quarter. for an eight foot wall. |

they do, but the normal size brick is 2 1/2in tall, 2 1/2in thick, and 9 1/4in long.
kings are different as are halfs highs... |

eight foot wall. you will definately need mortar
|
|
|
|

|
|
lets just say i'm using eight by four by two and a quarter.
and mortar. now how thick does it have to be. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for what?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for it not to fall and kill people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the thickness of the brick you choose is depends on what that wall is doing. freestanding, holding back soil, load bearing. too many factors to make a decision

your link didn't work.
the wall would just enclose a garden. maybe there'd be ivy on it. but that's it. |

|
so, freestanding?
any way to tie it into another structure? is it straight, L shaped, square??? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eight feet tall wall to enclose a garden? well it sounds like the wall will be freestanding. plain brick and mortar is fine. but eight feet tall?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sure.
and it's a damn garden. no buildings sir. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so i'm picturing like circular or rectangle, square maybe but enclosed garden right
|

ok, 8ft tall is too much, it will not stand over time. have you thought about a decorative concrete block? 16x8x8
|

eighty by eighty feet.
which way does the brick look "crappier." all brick wall or just bricks layered on top. |

that's the highest it'll get to. |
