Walls may be solid (made of stone, brick, concrete, glass, etc.), framed (made of timber, steel, other metals, etc.), or combinations, such as brick-veneer walls. The main types of wall are:
  1. (a) external walls to enclose the sides of a building or structure;
  2. (b) internal walls to partition the interior of a building or structure;
  3. (c) retaining walls to hold back earth or other solid material; and
  4. (d) peripheral walls to restrict access to or fence off open space.
