For a brick masonry fence wall (a wall between residential neighborhood and the street), the width of the joints between masonry wall panels has been determined as 1 in. Should the wall be provided with backer rod and sealant and the width of the joint increased? Explain your answer.

What will be an ideal response?


Being a fence wall, it is exposed to the exterior from both sides. Therefore, there is no need to seal the joints with a sealant. Hence, there is no need to increase the joint width.
