if I recall correctly, there's some good reasoning behind this way of bricklaying

>>20776 Directs impact into any car that veers of the road to teach them a lesson. Also it looks nice.

>>20777 heh but seriously, it was more about economic sense like less bricks used or something like this

>>20780 Ahh, the walls look relatively tall and thin for brick walls maybe they make them crinkle crankle to stabilise them and stop them falling over.

That would be cool to walk on.

>>20776 It used less bricks. If you build a straight wall, you need at least two layers of bricks or the wall can be pushed over. Crinkle Crankle wall can't be pushed over, so you only need one layer.

>>20784 cat tier

>>20786 Yeah it uses less bricks, but doesnt it take more time to plan and build the wall? Such a wall looks pretty damn complicated.

>>20830 > but doesnt it take more time to plan and build the wall Planning probably not, engineers are cunts who dream up retarded shit. Build, yes. At every curb beginning, middle and end a surveyor has to put a marker, or stake, so the guy who builds it knows where to place the bricks. Also the guys who lay the bricks have a more challenging time because curves, not straight line. Although it probably is more structurally sound cuz curves. t. knower

>>20834 Curve* curb

>>20834 Very good except the whole wall gradually curves. The bricks aren't placed flat but at an angle, so the wall sways back and forth. There is probably some way to track how much angle to give each brick and how many to the left follow by how many to the right.

>>20786 compared to a straight wall covering the same distance? ofc it requires more bricks, not fewer

>>20856 It can be thinner at the same stability.

About how much saving are we talking here? It cant be that much can it? I mean the wall itself is alot longer due to the curving, even with only one row of stones its a saving of how many stones? 30% maybe? Ive never seen such walls on the germany. Also i suppose its quite annoying to mow the lawn along such a wall.

>>20839 I take it back you are right France, it looks like in the picture this wall uses mostly straight bricks but some curved bricks.

>>20856 It actually uses less bricks because it is thinner. Straight wall has nothing supporting it from perpendicular force (wind, falls, running into it, etc) therefore, it needs to be at least two bricks thick, that way the bricks don't just fall over when bumped. Crinkle Crankle wall cannot fall over due to its shape. Therefore, it can be built thin with one layer of bricks, saving bricks overall.

This is the correct way to build a stone wall.

>>20905 However, today you can build a brick wall one brick thick and make it sturdy as they have hollow bricks that are filled with concrete and steel beams to support the structure.

>>20908 That's a double fence with stone filling, not a wall. A wall can have fence filling, but not the other way around.

>>20908 I don't like them. They are just dead.

>>20908 We used these things in Afghanistan to protect our camp from shrapnel from Taliban mortar attacks.

Dry wall is best wall.

>>20942 Celto-Germanic heritage itensifies

>>20935 I don't like their look. The stones themselves look nice but the metal fence around it just distracts so much and looks so bad.

This looks amazing and comfy.

>>20942 Agreed, looks pretty, lasts the longest.

>>20776 if it were just a straight line a stiff breeze could make it fall over, surely you've seen videos of chinese/russian walls crushing people one alternative to the _/¯\_/¯\_/¯\_/¯\_ i can think of is --+---+---+---+, but it seems like it wold be much more fragile

>>20908 It's ugly. It's dead. It will go out of fashion in a couple of years. Your gipsy neigbour might scrap the metal mesh and finance a drug fueled orgy.

Cozy

And they say Hungarian bricklayers can't build a straight wall...

kill wyte ppple

>>20971 >lasts the longest That depends on what you mean by lasts. A thick low stone wall like that gets overgrown and eventually buried in the ground where it sure will last a long time but as a fence it will be gone while a thin brick wall won't get buried as easily.

No.

>>20936 So this is why rich people in new developments have them. They are preparing for the upcoming civil war their plan to instigate.

>>21071 t. too poor to afford it

>>21200 They use them because they're cheap, block sound quite well Also, for a while they could tell everyone that they're great for small animals so all the eco people sucked their dicks until they found out that these walls get incredibly hot in summer and most animals die in them.

>>20908 What;s good about it? It looks silly.

>>21208 It's good for high wage countries because there is not tons of manual labor involved like in building a brick wall. But the resources are still expensive enough that you can show off your status to your neighbors and it's probably fairly durable.

>>20942 they are everywhere here on gotland, both along the fields and around churches. tangental fun fact: gotland has 92 medieval churches

>>21124 I was thinking of the medieval dry walls in vineyards and securing slopes along old roads. Quite a lot of those still stand today, modern concrete constructions wont last that long.

>>21201 This fence goes hand in hand with Michel's grey concrete cube house, grey driveway gate, and eternally flickering grey aluminium garden lights. Those not living in houses built from petrol station construction leftovers would go with something that either supports life, or something less invasive.

>>21252 Trust a bogdweller to pine for useless construction methods, incapable of looking forward or innovating, just mindlessly doing the same shit for decades until someone tells him to do otherwise.

>>21250 They can fall apart without a regular maintenance. But you don't need to do it so often as for other types of fences.

>>21254 Immigrants can be nice people. But you my friend will only spread misery and never find peace.

>>20908 The steel will get damaged over the time and the stones will falls down. Not good enough.

>>20908 Aren't they forbidden now?
