Waterproofing brick

2boysball | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I am adding a brick planter to the front of my brick house. Do I need to seal the inside of the planter so the wet soil inside doesn’t weep either to the outside of the planter or the inside of the house. Thanks in advance, Steve

    yes, yes and yes ... have a metal shop make a liner for your planter and extend the top over the brick.  Make sure you place weep holes in the joints at all low spots in the planter.
