This article is not intended to provide engineering advice, but to raise issues on masonry wall bracing. Although the author is the manufacturer of a bracing system, mason contractors and their employees should consult the Mason Contractors Association of America's Standard Practice for Bracing Masonry Walls Under Construction, the MCAA, an engineer or the manufacturer of their wall bracing system regarding their wall bracing issues. Proper wall bracing will vary depending upon the type of bracing used, job site conditions and other engineering factors.
