The process of arranging bricks in a uniform pattern using mortar to bind the bricks is known as a bond. Depending on the arrangement of bricks, a number of bonding type exists. They are as follows,
- English bond.
- Flemish bond.
- Stretching bond.
- Heading bond.
- Garden wall bond.
- Facing bond.
- Raking bond.
- Dutch bond.
- English cross-bond.
- Zig-Zag bond.
- Silverlock’s bond.
The fact that bricks can be placed in a zig-zag bond as well really fascinates me. I plan to erect a small retaining wall in my backyard to keep stray animals away. Maybe it’s time I hire a contractor to deal with the construction process.
