I'm in houston and I have a big stack of bricks leftover from when they built my house. These are the bricks used on the sides of the house, the ones with the holes in them. I just had a shed built in the backyard and due to the slope of the yard the front of the shed is a bit high off the ground. Can those bricks be used to build a stepped "patio" in front of the shed? Or will they be too delicate to be used as a surface you would walk on?
They are fine for that purpose. Just put sand down first to keep it level and dry. Supposedly bricks will decay if they are kept wet, but then there are still brick sewer pipes from the 1800s that are still in use.
