Brick wall colour
I'm going to build a brick wall at the back and want to put climbers in
below it. I'm thinking about what colour and texture of brick to select, that will be good. http://www.ibstock.com/highlights-brick-selector.asp?# Any ideas? Thanks Rich |

I'd get the brick colour right in the hard-lanscape setting, and then choose planting to go with the bricks. * Janet The above is right, match the existing building. Don't get old bricks, you need frost resistant bricks for a garden wall. Otherwise they will just shatter with the first frost. Lower courses should be an engineering brick and you need consider how you will top the wall. Your local builders merchant will show you catalogues. Best to get one they stock & you can return excess/buy more. |

Thanks Rich Depending on what the other side is and what can be done as it is a boundary, but have you thought of a rendered wall and painted? Change the colour to suit yourself. The advantage being that you can use any old brick or blocks. Mike -- ....................................
