What is a Plumb Line

Posted by Bob Bulmer on Fri 1st February 2008 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Brick Laying,  Construction,  Tools

A plumb line is used in checking that a brick wall is vertical.

The plumb line is usually tied round and notched into a board which is then placed on the top course. The end of the plumb line hangs down the wall - gravity gives you a vertical line downwards. This gives you a perpendicular guide while you’re constructing a wall.
