It's well hidden. Open the Custom Patterns stencil
menu File -> Shapes -> Visio Extras
put a box type of shape on your page
menu Format -> Fill and select the Brick pattern

You may need to adjust the scaling.

Two other suggestions:

1) If you want a picture of a brick wall, select Insert/Picture/Clip Art and
search for
brick wall
You'll find a lot of cartoons but several unadorned, usable brick walls.

2) There is a brick wall of sorts in the network stencils -- select
File/Shapes/Network/Network and Perhipherals and look for the Firewall master.

Another alternative is to make your own custom fill pattern. References for
doing this are:

Hi John,

Have a look at this stencil:

File > Shapes > Network > Network > Network and Peripherals

It has a shape called "Firewall" that might get the job done!
