did you have to use any mortar or other material to hold bricks together?
 
NO. They have lips on the bottom of the back side. I'm a renter. I explored quite a few different options and this was the most appealing. Might be heavy but the doorway to my basement is stupid. This option worked great spacewise.

I remember seeing a member here on MFK make a pond using the whole room. Can't seem to remember where I saw it though.
