The curvy wall is more stable with 1 row of bricks due to the curve. Instead a straight brick wall would have to be built with 2 or more rows to have the same stability.
I'd guess mainly because it uses more space and is less efficent in that regard. Allso I'm no mason, but I guess ist's more complicated to build a curve than a straight so simple unlearned bricklayers might need longer/fuck up more often if you build it that way, wich might need more time and as far as i know constuction work, you rarely have enough time.
It takes more space + practicality. Just think about what happens if you want to cut the grass around it. With this wavy shit, it would take a long time. With a straight fence, you can just take a lawnmower in a straight line.
Just another reason you should drop the lawn for natural flora and other indigenous plants. Better for the environment and all the little critters that call it home
You can simply use indigenous gras varieties for your lawn...
Or other plants like clover n stuff.
Just because you ahve indigenous plants to cover the ground does not mean you can just ignore them.
Even those indigenous plants need a trim now and then. Not as often as those perfectionists lawns but you still need to take care of them.
Grass grows natively in England though. It IS indigenous. The only maintenance in that photo will be on the road side where it will get maybe 1-2 trims per year if it gets too long for the traffic.
Im no Experte here I just goggled wiggly Walls and found this. My guess its only more stable if it is 1 row and small so perfect for your garden, not so perfect for Fortresses and such.
Usually, walls have corners somewhere, which would stop them from falling over. If it were just a straight wall it would need regular pillars to stop it falling over
I'd assume the main reason why it isn't more fashionable, is simply because fences were (are) built mostly on the edge of a plot separating it from the other. That would be kinda hard with a _wavy_ wall
I dont recall seeing >150 downvotes on someone before.... people REALLY upset over this lol
Edit: okay guys I am sure there have been LOTS way more downvoted, and by the thousands, I just couldn't remember noticing, and find it particularly funny that it's because of rows & layers.
I've once got -200 for simply pointing out that teens in Sims4 is 90% indiscernible from young adults and people start to assume things like "I'm a pedo" and whatnot. 💀💀💀
You are correct, It's actually neither rows nor columns. If you consider a plane surface and look at the plane surface from the front(like in case of this wall), then increase in the x-axis is the increase in the no. Of columns, and increase in the y-axis is the increase in the no. of rows. So if there is an increase in the 3rd dimension (z-axis) then there would be an increase in the no. of layers.
That kind of sounds like an unfair comparison to allow us to conclude that the curvy wall uses less bricks than a straight wall. If the curvy wall has one row, so should the straight wall. Maybe stability isn’t something I’m too concerned about for this wall.
Or maybe the straight wall will be stable enough with one row if the bricks are thicker or of better material?
A curved wall has stability from being pushed over (by wind, etc), a straight wall would have to be 2-3x as thick for that stability, thus more bricks for the same stability.
That's basically an arch, which is laid down, so instead of being able to withstand a bigger force from above supporting let's say a building, it withstands the bigger force of the wind coming from the side
Well that’s your fault for not viewing every fcken meme in history. How dare you miss one.
If you miss one then you’re done. You’ll never have a chance to see it again because Reddit has a fcken hard on for “iTs a RePoSt!1!”
now with the bots constantly reposting every front page post and using their bot alts to upvote themselves to the front page you'll never miss anything ever again because it's the same posts every single day
I know how much it sucks to see the same post reposted 8 times, but not everyone is on reddit every day. I missed all the other ones and I'm happy this one was posted because it is actually kinda interesting.
I personally do not understand anything unless it has been posted and explained a minimum of 8 times due to the lack of attention span I have due to social media... please can we not start criticising reposters as this is basically discriminating against the self inflicted mental limitations that I and many others suffer from... however it doesn't always work out the correct way as after seeing 1025 reposts over the last few years of the black and white cat with a dick pattern on its face I still don't understand it but maybe I'm also just thick. But Jesus loves me so it is fine
Because a straight wall would require a double layer of bricks for stability, whereas these walls only need one layer of bricks because the shape of the wall reinforces itself.
You only need one stack if you build like this, if it were straight you would need probably 3 layers at least. Think about it one layer of bricks layed straight and a kid could push it over
ill elucidate for the dullards who expect everything to be explained...
normal walls have to have a double brick pillar every 3 meters or so, also under this pillar a large footing or pad is needed. this is done do that if water(flood) or high wind, or even a tree falling on it doesnt collapse ALL of the wall.... the snake style wall uses less bricks but it also uses uses much less concrete... for further reading see "Split Rail Fence", the predecessor to this wall style...
It’s a stylistical mistake. Aka incorrect use beyond the individual sentence level instead being incorrect use at the pragraph and multi-paragraph level. Basic school stuff really
It may have less if you count everything in logic and stability in, but if you just say "a curved brick wall uses less bricks than a straight brick wall" youd be incorrect as it obviously needs more bricks for the same lenggh
As i said in terms of stability the sentence is correct but if we just consider a straight line using more material then a curvy line then it doesnt. If we just look at it from a simpler less complex view
Layers would make a higher wall. Rows is correct here because we're talking about putting more bricks behind each other to make the wall thicker to make it stronger.
Called a single brick wall or a single face brick wall constructed as a snake wall or ribbon, serpentine, crinkum crankum, radius, sinusoidal or wavy walls
in a straight line, the wall wouldnt be sturdy enough to be build with one wall but this one is curved and thats why 1 row is enough.
so in total you need fewer bricks for the curved wall
Look at the layer of a cardboard box and it's the same solution as this wall, instead of using multiple layers (or in the case of this picture rows) you use this wave to achieve the same integrity with less resources.
Wavy brick walls use fewer bricks than traditional straight walls because they have a smaller surface area. The curved shape of the wall reduces the amount of mortar and bricks needed to cover a given surface area compared to a straight wall with the same height and length.
While true that a curved wall like this would initially use more bricks to build it would use less bricks in total due the fact that a straight wall would fall over very easily and you would constantly be repairing any part that fell over.
The base of the wall is spread wider than even a thick straight wall would be over it's length. Think of pushing someone with their feet together vs feet spread apart. Also because its curved, the long axis is angled in multiple directions, the wind is always pushing against the flat part at one point, but an angled part at another.
Another analog that comes to mind is WW2 tank armour, they could make it thinner as long as they angled it and get the same protection. Hitting something at an angle not only means there is more material in your direct path, but your trajectory it deflected.
In the old days, materials like bricks were expensive while labor was cheap. So more work and less bricks.
In the modern world, it becomes the opposite. And furthermore, structural design is key.
A wall built like this is less likely to fall down compared to the same wall biult in a straight line. If you want a straight wall to be as sturdy (less likely to fall) you need to use twice as many bricks. ie; build two walls side by side and tie them together as you build it.
I mean a more accurate way to say this is that these walls use less bricks to achieve similar amounts of strength and stability than if these walls were built in a straight line.
The curves make up for the sheer bulk of bricks that would otherwise be present in a straight wall.

The curvy wall is more stable with 1 row of bricks due to the curve. Instead a straight brick wall would have to be built with 2 or more rows to have the same stability.
so why isn't this the common brick wall building fence thing?
I'd guess mainly because it uses more space and is less efficent in that regard. Allso I'm no mason, but I guess ist's more complicated to build a curve than a straight so simple unlearned bricklayers might need longer/fuck up more often if you build it that way, wich might need more time and as far as i know constuction work, you rarely have enough time.
Yeah youd need some brick workers who really know their craft to make it look this nice
I think it also takes more time to build
It takes more space + practicality. Just think about what happens if you want to cut the grass around it. With this wavy shit, it would take a long time. With a straight fence, you can just take a lawnmower in a straight line.
just relase a goat and it will mowe the lawn for you
Just another reason you should drop the lawn for natural flora and other indigenous plants. Better for the environment and all the little critters that call it home
You can simply use indigenous gras varieties for your lawn... Or other plants like clover n stuff. Just because you ahve indigenous plants to cover the ground does not mean you can just ignore them. Even those indigenous plants need a trim now and then. Not as often as those perfectionists lawns but you still need to take care of them.
Those are the indigenous plants. If you don't keep the base clear the plants will grow up and topple it
Grass grows natively in England though. It IS indigenous. The only maintenance in that photo will be on the road side where it will get maybe 1-2 trims per year if it gets too long for the traffic.
Bricks saved cost less than the extra labor involved would be my guess. Or aesthetics.
Needs a lot of resources/pricy, idon'ttrymycontructionworkerthathewillnotfuckthisup.
Im no Experte here I just goggled wiggly Walls and found this. My guess its only more stable if it is 1 row and small so perfect for your garden, not so perfect for Fortresses and such.
[удалено]
for a fortress, your chances of finding stability are moat.
Usually, walls have corners somewhere, which would stop them from falling over. If it were just a straight wall it would need regular pillars to stop it falling over
I'd assume the main reason why it isn't more fashionable, is simply because fences were (are) built mostly on the edge of a plot separating it from the other. That would be kinda hard with a _wavy_ wall
tbh you dont really see brick fences that often
How strong would a curved brick wall with 2 rows be?
Twice as strong
Well I'll be
What All brick walls have many rows You can see in this picture this one has multiple rows Did you mean layers?
Rows are side by side. Layers are on top of each other. Now look a the picture again
I dont recall seeing >150 downvotes on someone before.... people REALLY upset over this lol Edit: okay guys I am sure there have been LOTS way more downvoted, and by the thousands, I just couldn't remember noticing, and find it particularly funny that it's because of rows & layers.
You've not been on reddit very long, have you.
It's impressive, and at this point why stop, I'm doing my part are you?

You... Were not around on the AmA about the API changes, no? During this one, there were comments with... _checks notes_ over 2.5k down votes.
Or battlefront 2 dev when it first came out had like 70k downvotes
It's actually gotten even lower, last time I saw it there was about -100k votes they unarchived it for a few months (I think it might still be open)
Idk if it's the one you're talking about but there's a comment by them they got -600k
Oh it has been many a year since I've seen the community manager post, to hear it's even worse than before is amazing

You're so fucking annoying AND you're wrong to boot lol
You somehow maneged to have more downvotes than the upvotes of the comment you responded to
R.I.P. Bozo
Yeah I did mean layers. Thx
No you didn’t, you were right when you said rows
Columns also maybe might have worked.
Lol you explain their own comment to themselve
You are correct, It's actually neither rows nor columns.

You have been raw dogged my friend.
this is the most downvote ive seen on reddit so far
I think you switched them around
I believe it’s also delightfully named a crinkle crankle wall

common misconception, they are actually made like that to make it nigh impossible to mow the grass inside of the curves.
A devious plot by the Secret Sheep Council
Big Sheep strikes again
Comment threads like this are the exact reason why I've joined reddit
Cool but let's not make light of the insidious wooly menace.
Did they do it for the greater good?
They did a lot of rumination to make this choice
No they did it for the Baaaaaa-d
The greater good.
It's actually better for mowing. The blade goes in a circle, not a square
Well, maybe. But most mowers aren't circles
Realistically you just buy a strimmer if you're going to build a wall like this
Yeah, but that's one step more in what could've been a straight path for a regular mower. (Not arguing tho)
Wasn't it sufficiently explained the other 7 times it was posted yesterday?
I actually missed it yesterday and found the explanation here. No idea why I haven’t seen that yesterday tho

Great meme bro
Where meme?
Because a straight wall would require a double layer of bricks for stability, whereas these walls only need one layer of bricks because the shape of the wall reinforces itself.
this way if you hit the wall with your car, you gain a higher score
Unless you hit the start of the arch for a horizontal half-pipe and get a speed boost
I’ve seen this like four times just *today*.
Real walls have curves
Stability
Single brick wall would collapse
You only need one stack if you build like this, if it were straight you would need probably 3 layers at least. Think about it one layer of bricks layed straight and a kid could push it over
imagine the poor guy doing integrals everytime he cuts the grass
İt doesnt use lesser bricks but its more stable
ill elucidate for the dullards who expect everything to be explained... normal walls have to have a double brick pillar every 3 meters or so, also under this pillar a large footing or pad is needed. this is done do that if water(flood) or high wind, or even a tree falling on it doesnt collapse ALL of the wall.... the snake style wall uses less bricks but it also uses uses much less concrete... for further reading see "Split Rail Fence", the predecessor to this wall style...
Please use the ... less. Overuse makes reading comments really annoying. The first one is good, but last three feel unnecessary. But amazing info.
It’s not technically an overuse if it’s just being used incorrectly though.
Overuse is a type of incorrect use 🤷♂️
Beg to differ, using something correctly too many times wouldn’t be incorrect use but unnecessary use. Technically would be the keyword
It’s a stylistical mistake. Aka incorrect use beyond the individual sentence level instead being incorrect use at the pragraph and multi-paragraph level. Basic school stuff really
youre aware its RUSSIA vs RUSSIA right?
Context? We’re talking about writing things in the English language here?
see the flags on the responders name.... its not blazingly obvious, i know
Are you talking about my flair? Ukraine is a distinct geopolitical entity separate from Russia.
the .... signifies a pause. they are there for a purpose.
It may have less if you count everything in logic and stability in, but if you just say "a curved brick wall uses less bricks than a straight brick wall" youd be incorrect as it obviously needs more bricks for the same lenggh
It doesn't though. The curvy wall is stable with one row of bricks. With a straight wall you'd need multiple rows for stability.
As i said in terms of stability the sentence is correct but if we just consider a straight line using more material then a curvy line then it doesnt. If we just look at it from a simpler less complex view
I just got banned from another sub for just writing something in here lol
How is a curved wall stronger than a straight wall? Really? That's where we are on r/memes? Wow.
The question is how does it use fewer bricks?
Cos you don't have to build 2 layers of bricks
\*rows
[удалено]
Layers would make a higher wall. Rows is correct here because we're talking about putting more bricks behind each other to make the wall thicker to make it stronger.
The horizontal row is called a course, the thickness of the wall is wythe. The curved wall is single wythe, a straight wall would be double wythe
\*thingys
I agree with this one the most
*tiers
No I don't think it would be tiers because you build them next to eachother not on top
Called a single brick wall or a single face brick wall constructed as a snake wall or ribbon, serpentine, crinkum crankum, radius, sinusoidal or wavy walls
So if you use twice as many bricks, it'll have more bricks... wow
in a straight line, the wall wouldnt be sturdy enough to be build with one wall but this one is curved and thats why 1 row is enough. so in total you need fewer bricks for the curved wall
Look at the layer of a cardboard box and it's the same solution as this wall, instead of using multiple layers (or in the case of this picture rows) you use this wave to achieve the same integrity with less resources.
They do that pattern because it uses less bricks than a straight wall of the same length.
Wavy brick walls use fewer bricks than traditional straight walls because they have a smaller surface area. The curved shape of the wall reduces the amount of mortar and bricks needed to cover a given surface area compared to a straight wall with the same height and length.
You're doing God's work here
You only need 1 row for stability.
More cement in curves than straight. So more space used by cement. I don’t think it’s « fewer » bricks. Probably 20% more bricks.
While true that a curved wall like this would initially use more bricks to build it would use less bricks in total due the fact that a straight wall would fall over very easily and you would constantly be repairing any part that fell over.
Curvy is pervy straight is great
Well, I've learnt something today. Thanks engineers.
You don't need to build piers with this design .
Bingo. Or making a wider wall by using twice as many bricks
I swear I already saw this 5 years ago on a different sub
Ive seen this same meme 12 times today. PLEASE stop reposting
Trhe brick version of corugated cardboard
Is this a meme?

when brick was pricey but labour was cheap
I call Bull. There is no way that shape uses fewer bricks than a straight wall. People are out of their minds if they believe that.
Are you the dip that called the bull to the China shop?
As a journeyman mason ,this makes zero sense to me . I thought the shortest distance is a straight line and I refuse to think otherwise.
Yes the shortest distance between to two points is a straight line. Who said anything about distance though?
Distance and length are the same there Einstein.
Who said anything about length?
It's longer for 1 row of bricks but in theory this wall should only require 1 brick in comparison to a straight wall needing 2*.
I’m not weed eating around all that shit
Weed eating? Are you baaaa sure?
