Build your own Stepped Flower Box

These Stepped Flower Boxes serve as a useful means of overcoming differences in garden levels and breaking up open spaces, such as patios. The height and arrangements can be altered to preferred garden designs. However, to avoid brick cutting it is suggested that sizes are chosen to equivalent brick lengths.

This project has been kept as simple as possible and can be completed in a weekend. Each stage has been illustrated with drawings. The plan and elevation drawings show the overall dimensions of the braai, and the perspective drawing shows how it looks on completion.

A copy of the book 'Clay Bricklaying is Easy' is available from ClayBrick.org for instructions on mixing sand and mortar and techniques for handling tools.

The use of this information is based on recognised principles of design and construction and is at the discretion of the respective builder, contractor and end-user.
