The question of the foundation will be considered in more detail.
A brick fence can have a thickness
– half -brick (1m2 required 55pcs.)
– a whole brick (1 m2 required 110pcs.).
To lay the material, a sand-cement solution (4: 1) is necessary, the strength of which can be increased by adding 0.5 part of the lime.
Dilute dry mixture with water, resulting from a thick consistency.
For a brick fence, a strip type is needed. The trench is laid with the calculation: for every 0.8 m. the height of the future fence is 0.1 m. The depths of the trench.
