    It's the deep frogs that's the problem. Big enough for a tarantula.

    We have this on our garden wall, so will follow with interest. Like you say it's rock hard, a hammer hardly phases it.

    Those bricks look like LBC Tudors, which I've noticed seem to suffer from this problem when soaked.
    @stuart45 I'm going to gamble (in all honesty I'm just being different) and say they look like LBC Chiltern's ;) 

    Either way, I don't think I've ever found packs of bricks that attract spiders more than LBC bricks. 

    And when you've a phobia of spider's, they're not my favourite brick!!


    Just saved the photo & zoomed in. I think you're right actually. Unless I've got it back to front the Tudor's have moon crater imprints on them whereas the Chiltern's have pin-pricks.
    Definitely Tudors, if not I’ve done the garage conversion in the wrong brick 😂
