To build a brick pier, you will need the following supplies: bricks, mortar, an appropriate foundation, and tools.
1. Begin by clearing any debris or plants from the area where the pier will be built and prepare the foundation. If the area is not level, use gravel and sand to create an even base.
2. Lay out the bricks in the preferred pattern. Use a spirit level tool to ensure that the bricks are level during each layer.
3. Mix the mortar according to the instructions on the package. Apply a thick layer of the mortar to the base of the pier as well as between each brick.
4. Carefully align each brick into place and use a trowel to press the mortar into the joint.
5. When the bottom layer is complete, continue adding courses of bricks, leveling each layer with a spirit level tool. Continue in this way until the desired height is reached.
6. After the pier is built, allow it to cure for 24 hours before applying any load or weight.
