Yeah I agree with Patto.
Apart from baseball hoop levering down walls (when people hang off), even flower pots have pulled over brick veneer walls when hanging off brackets...
Brick walls are strong in compression only.
Be particularly scared of any climbing wall hung off the side of a house if it includes an overhang section, which can increase the outward pull on the bricks, unless properly braced.
In Canberra I can think of 2 climbing walls based on brick walls (ANU and Narrabundah). Both were specially engineered to cope, even though they are both merely vertical.
Good luck. |
