Rat-trap bond follows the same pattern as Flemish bond, but alternates rowlocks(the short header end of the brick turned tall) and shiners(the broad flat face of the brick). In a rat-trap bond wall, both sides of the wall look the same. Sandwiched between each side's shiner is a cavity. The name of the bond is in reference to this cavity. 5, record 2, English, - rat%2Dtrap%20bond
