How to build a fake brick wall?
Question by violetnewyork: How to build a fake brick wall?
Me and my friends need to build a fake brick wal, because we’re reconstructing the scene from Mallrats for one of our film classes. What would be the cheapest way to build a brick wall? (aside from finiding an actual brick wall)

What do you think? Answer below!
Use fake bricks
go to home depot or lowes, they have a “wall board” type material that has a brick pattern, you could buy a sheet of that.
check at Lowe’s or Home Depot—there used to be a pressed wood sheet that was fake brick. I used a white with a grey mortar in my kitchen years ago.
They sell foe brick walls and other styles its like paneling ,or paint brick walls on plywood good luck
i am not very good in this, but i’d imagine make four lines of wood – put them all together on the floor. Screw them together then put a board measured same type (do all the details of the measurements) and screw them four sides of the wood. then you can colour the bored and it won’t show that it is around the wooden made thing.
i’m not sure, but seen some builders make this.
why don’t you go:

paint a large piece of cloth. if it is background,
a bit hardboard attached to a frame or stand. wheels if you want to, i assume only one side is facing the camera or audience.
got to a fake Lowe’s or Home Depot
Use red paper, the big rolls, and paint or draw deep black lines on it the size of bricks. Hang it over boxes or etc. Also you can add extra drawing to make them look more real.
There are basically two ways.
1. You can find fake bricks, which are only the face of bricks, and cement them to a board – I have done that in my house and it looked good.
2. I have also seen people take plywood and rout out a brick design and paint that. That will require someone who knows something about wood work. You can use 1×4 boards and a dado blade on the saw and do it that way also, then staggering the boards so that it looks like a brick wall. Anyone with a 100 buck table saw can do that.
How about contact paper or vinyl paper that looks like brick?
