- BRICKLAYING - Rat Trap Bond
Today we talk about the bricklaying bond, rat trap...it is also known as Chinese brick bond. This is a formation of Flemish bond and is the origin of Quetta bond. I show how to build a brick wall out of Rat Trap bond and show you how to lay bricks in this interesting style of bricklaying. Hope you all enjoy

What I was hoping to see in your video is how you would prevent mortar getting inside the cavities reinforced with rebar and designed to be filled with concrete later on. The rebar is also reinforced horizontally with around 3mm wire according to guides on the net. I'm building a splash pool for the kids in this bond.
Nice tutorial. It became popular in the late 18th century due to the brick tax. So, anything that reduced the number of bricks was a win. You’re right that it’s not as strong as Flemish or English bond, but it’s good enough for small houses. Many of them are still standing, after all!
A common place to see this bond is World War 2 pillboxes. They were cheap because they cut down on the number of bricks used, and were incredibly strong when the cavities were filled with steel and concrete.
Rodian your are best I was reading
Book called understanding small period house I found different bond
I check on youtube your video come thank you for good work
It was used in pre hammer drill days because battens nailed into the bed joints with cut nails is correct spacing for tile hanging...
Respected Laurie Baker Made this Rat trap bond famous among architects and others in India for making sustainable housing has mentioned in his book "A manual of cost cuts for strong acceptable Housing."rat trap bond can be used as a load bearing wall for two storied house construction.
May all be happy and at ease free from dis-ease.
Fascinating Rhodian,very nice build and well explained mate 🧱👌🙏
Never done any masonry work before and I'm about to attempt a 2 foot tall retaining wall/raised tree bed using this bond. Wish me luck lol
Rodian bro,
The reason people would use this bond is that you use less bricks and less mortar!!
Pretty simple really and as soon as I started writing this comment, you started to say exactly that.
We always called them solder courses, every 4 brick in the running bond between inner and outer...but we laid the brick normal not on side like that! This method was used mostly for pure mason house no wood frame on exterior walls of house only plaster to brick on inside, this was before much insulation was used
My father was laying bricks before / after the war - materials were very scarce, things were very bad, soot was used to supplement cement, very weak mixes used etc, and I'm guessing some of the techniques etc you are querying were born out of the necessity and the shortages of those hard times.
Bricks laid wages paid. Nice video mate 👍👍 thanks 👍
Greatly enjoyed that one. Thank you.
I like it be interesting to see what it looks like when has been done as a wall....smart
All I was looking for 🥰...thx 👍
BLWP . Quirky but smart , nice one Rodian 💪🏽👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Cheers guys, hope you're keeping well at the moment? 🤙🏼🧱
Rodian Builds . So far site shuts Friday so making the most of this beautiful weather, shorts tomorrow 😎🧱👍🏽
The concept behind the bond was that it would save on materials and mortar without compromising the strength of the wall. The only time I've ever come across it was in several houses on the same road in Dulwich, south east London, where they'd used it to build the sleeper walls for the ground floor floor joists to sit on/span across.
It's used a lot in india, cos it's quite strong, saves on material, and creates a cavity to keep the heat out.
Отменно!!!!!! Молодец!!!! Respect! !!!
Rat trap bond was used mainly by farmers in there outbuildings because it saved 30 per cent in bricks look after the penny’s and the pounds look after there selfs and if the bricklayer did a good job they got a shiny shilling for there work
How do you do curved corners using Rat Trap Bond?
Which bond is best for isulation and noise reduction?
How to bricklay the roof to use the same type of bricks that you use for the wall?🙏
Enjoy watching your videos a lot and well done.
Done this bond in a wall before but turned the 'stretcher ' frog out to show a feature in the wall. No picture unfortunately it was maybe 15 years ago.😫
First course should be in header bond before starting rat trap bond ?
rodders i bought a house once in herefordshire for the bricks for a development and russell the crane as he was known who sold me it too demolish called the brick bond called it poverty bond bearing in mind when it was built in late victorian times most houses had solid 9inch wall no cavity as i beleive did not happen till thw 30s and the pov bond house was built by the local canal company for it workers
thanks
Hey up !! Can you do a video or clip of the brick fairies , I’ve been in the industry for years and never had the pleasure of seeing them , anywhere!! And I’m sick of building houses and extensions so would love some brick fairies to come and finish my plots . Cheers . PEACE
Would it not absorb water as the base of the brick is exposed.
My cottage (1830's) is built in this bond. It's now rendered which is a shame. There are a fair few houses in my area that are built in rat trap bond. (Mid Bedfordshire England)
Have you ever built Sailor course,in Brickwork,??
I think I may have touched on it in college, never used it on a job though
Could be nice to use blue engineering bricks for the headers to try to minimise bridging.
Bond. James Bond 🤙😝
Hi nice one . l had a question and I think you answered it with this bond, as you can put rebar in it.
many thanks.
p.s 35 years old is too old for fighting. Join a club and beat them with it... lol😆
another great video thx :) You can find some pictures of rat trap bond but actualy be able to see how its done it is grat thing :)
Becouse we are with bonds can I have another request ? Could You build a sample of COMMON BOND please ?
My dad said hes never done that bond but he has seen it when he was doing 2 barn conversions.
Could you do a video of Victorian weave please .
I like this bond but nothing beats Flemish
At least with this there's no arguments on where the frog goes!
🤣🤣 couldnt agree more 🤙🏼🧱
Some brick manufactures make 65mm bricks with face surface on the bed face. They can be used as paviors as well. I've used those bricks your using and a pack of frogged bricks usually has a good percentage of solid bricks where the molding process skips a frog mold
Come to think of it I have actually seen those style bricks.
Another good one mate, could we have one on diapering?
Already on that buddy. Watch this space 🤙🏼🧱
should be built solid
👍
There are only two bonds in Brickwork they are either Half& Quarter Bond anything else are just made up names ok‼️
Do we know were the name came from
I couldnt find out where it came from.
@@RodianBuilds The name comes from the fact that rodents could fall into the cavities and not get out again. Presumably people would hear disembodied squeaking coming from their walls.
A really ugly bond
Keep well
