Building a garden wall

[gravitate]

Hi I am currently building my garden wall but I am now stuck as there is a 135 degrees turn in the wall as seen in the photos. I really dont know how to do this as the bricks should still overlap I know to explain what I should do will be hard in words but could someone please try?

Was that supposed to be funny? It made me laugh anyway but advice on actually how to cut the bricks so they still over lap would be good

You either cut the bricks and accept a joint down the change in direction or you get special bricks from a manufacturer eg http://www.ketley-brick.co.uk/angle-and-cant-bricks-p1.htm although I guess there'll be minimum quantities. Don't know if any of the merchants will sell the bricks each.

One way would be to carry on one section beyond the change of direction so that you form a stub into which the other wall bisects. This is only possible where you have no boundary restrictions.

Another way would be to curve the wall.

Otherwise cut the bricks and use tie wires for the overlap.

depeneding on your choice of brick you can get dog legs at 135 but they are relatively expensive like 5/6quid each
