Strecher bond is sometimes known as running bond. This bond is the simplest bond
that is used today, this bond is not suitable as a stand alone structural wall and a structural
wall built directly behind it, fixed with wall ties would be needed. Stretcher Bond is normally
used a farcade for the main structural building. It can look very plain, but with the
introduction of other patterns can look very affective. Often this bond is used in garden walls,
but you should look at other more attractive bonds like English bond or flemish bond when
considering landscaping.

and of where you want the wall to go.Don’t put any mortar down yet. Measure from
the outer edge of the brick at one end to the outer edgeof the brick t the other end to
get the length of your wall. Measure your bricks and see how long they are. And you
can get how many bricks that you will need.

5. Meanwhile, Check the balance using a spirit level on both ends of the bricks.
 6. Then, Set up the line at both ends , after that you can put every brick to the line.

level.

wall every once. If one side gets too high, lay the bricks tighter on the end.
