Brick Wall

How do you key/bond into a low 9"wide brick wall and extend it? Thanks.

If you want the brick bonding to look continuous along the whole length, you are going to have to remove the alternate half-bricks at the existing end within the bond to create a dog-tooth - that would bond it really well as you construct the new wall. Otherwise, why both? - just start the new wall about 10mm away from the existing. You could masonry drill into the middle of the existing end wall enough to insert and mortar-in a brick-tie every 4 or so courses, to physically link the old and new should you so desire.

Thanks b'mate for reasons a bit too involved,I have to go the "continuous" way.

Then I'd remove the half-bricks using a combination of angle-cutter and masonry drill into the existing mortar - to try to get a decent dog-tooth without breaking lumps off the existing bricks I wanted to keep intact.

Good tips thanks.
