Block loading plan

Hall size: Outside of blockwork – 8.5 x 21.6

Inner leaf - 1000 10n blocks Outer leaf - 700 normal blocks
Centre wall – 500 10n blocks
* Order: 1500 – High density 10n 4” blocks
1000 – Normal 4” blocks - stack all around the outside of the footprint up
against the boundary walls and allowing room to build the outer-leaf
from outside if possible. Can leave 300 off the pad.
2 bales of ‘pads’ (for levelling up)
Square the footprint size by parallel lines and then check by corner to corner
Two other methods:
 Pythagoras theorem
L² + W ² = Hypotenuse²
Divide H² by √ (gives an exact corner measurement off length and width)
 3:4:5
Washered steel nail into corners – mark wall widths with paint if you wish
Outer wall: 450mm wide Inner wall: 225mm wide
Openings: 1200mm wide approx.
Distance of the block stacks from the walls: 600 mm no less and not too much more
Allow room between block stacks for the mortar bards

Note: The actual number of block stacks may be different

Any hand stacking: Stack blocks in this way
