Attachment
This brick is very heavy and you shouldn’t rely on the adhesive to the drywall alone to keep it attached. Mechanically attach the wall to the structure by installing a 2-1/2″ screw into each stud and leave the screw protruding into one of the mortar joints by approximately one inch. These screws should be installed every 16″ vertically. He used deck screws that are coated with a rust inhibitive coating and has a course thread that will firmly bite into the stud.
