Anyone know if spacers are available here in ireland for assisting in building level block walls. (its for a shed not a house)

I thought something would be available, I assumed anything like this would be plastic
but cannot find anything looking online.

Maybe something like this will do?

Thats not for cavity blocks though, its not really a spacer, just a tool to lay a bed of mortar. Unfortunately, looks grand for doing solid block or red bricks though.
I was thinking something like in the link, but available in ireland.
I saw plastic spacers for building red brick walls years ago, looking for a spacer so when |I get the first course done and level, it will make the remaining courses relatively easy.
I'm hoping I wont have to order them from the US, surely something like that must be available here?

Even if spacers were available in the UK, Id order them or pick them up.

Hi ponddigger

I was hoping there was something purpose designed for the job, but in the absence of that, this sounds like a good idea.
I never thought of a peg, did you put it in whole like that? did they balance ok/lay flat?

I was thinking I'd end up having to saw up bits of loads of small bits of wood to use as homemade spacers, but I didnt like the idea.

How'd you come up with it? did you build a block structure using them?
I'm doing a shed so I think they might do the job.
I wouldnt mind paying but either get crazy prices or no answer from people/block layers so I've been tempted into doing it myself.
