Once you master the method, you can apply this skill to renovate, extend or even build a brick house. Good bricklaying skill is important so your brick wall comes out stable, strong and aligned. You will need to make good measurement, in determining the size of the area you want to protect with the brick wall and how long and high you want the brick wall to be.
Steps in Building a Brick House Wall
So how to build a brick house wall
if you are a beginner? You can start from the easy way, which is laying
the bricks on flat land as a veneer wall (a non-functional wall that
serves as an extension of a house). This way, you can focus on the
layering and stacking technique. Here are steps of making a brick house
wall you can apply right away:
- Create a foundation where you can put the first layer of bricks. If there is no existing foundation, you can use footing from concrete, although this means you must wait for several days until the footing is ready.
- Calculate the final shape and dimension by laying bricks on each end of the wall (but without mortar or cement!). Depending on the size and dimension of the bricks, you should measure the in-between spaces with extra 10 inch intervals and about 3/8 inch on the length, so there will be extra space for the mortar.
- Start from both of the wall ends. Layer your bricks carefully, and put level on top of the bricks as well as on the front surface. This is how to build a brick house by making sure that each surface is even, whether the vertical or horizontal surface.
- Use a rope or strand to line the surface of the bricks, with each end on the end of the walls. This is where you start on the middle brick layer.
When you are finished the brick walls from middle to top, always make sure that the wall is aligned and the bricks are neatly stacked. After you know how to build a brick house wall like this, you can try it to build a simple house or practice in slightly sloped land.
