I usually have 2 dedicated walls, usually Tentacruel w/ barrier as one, and Uxie or Regice as the other. Then I have some bulky guys in there too, just in case something goes wrong.

I'm also trying to get Weezing and Tangrowth as well.
 
On my standard-type teams, I always find myself going back to Gliscor/Cresselia/Blissey, because that's just such a good defensive combination. On stall teams, I just build a team entirely of walls.
 
I use 2 1/2. Starmie can't really be considered a wall if you're comparing it to Gliscor and Blissey, but can take a hit, so I think it fits. Although I'm considering using a different spinner.

Not a perfect combo though (Swords Dance Weavile), but yeah, as long as you have something to deal with that then you have a solid mix of walls there.

I can't really respond to this poll with a definite answer as it varies wildly. I have a stall team where as many as five of my Pokemon could be considered to be walls in some way or another, whilst another of my teams has only the one. I always have at least one wall though, as a team with no walls is incredibly difficult to work with in the current environment.
 
it depends on wall is considered a wall like bronzong is a sweeper with trick room and still a wall with rest talk. i have 2 walls on my team currently a team with 6 walls is just waiting to get torn apart from stat uppers dude above me

Taunters and PHazers can still be considered walls if they are designed to take hits. In fact, the likes of Skarmory and Hippowdon are pretty much designed to do just that. Switch in, take a hit, PHaze, lay some rocks or spikes and recover the damage incurred.
 
I've been running a Stall team that's been doing pretty well on Shoddy. 5 Walls (if Tentacruel counts, he's more of a bulky water) that utilizes Spikes and the like. Weavile is my only offensive pokemon.
 
I find that I can't really depend on physical walls too much, so I use some of my sweepers to take the hits when they can. It usually goes like this: 3 sweepers(physical, mixed, special) and 2 walls and 1 sleep talker. Heracross actually takes the last spot and does a wonderful job.
 
I usually use 3. One Blissey to wall special attackers, then 2 physical walls that cover each other's weaknesses. It's basically impossible to effectively wall all physical attackers with just one wall. I usually have at least 1 or 2 sweepers that are capable of taking hits as well.
 
Four, but they cover the weaks of my two awesomly hard hitters perfectly so dont get the impresion that my team is lacking on offence.
 
I generally carry more walls then less, though the specific number varies. Usually 3-4 is my number. I will always have one support member, and it may or may not be a wall or tank. The other two to three consist of sweepers, one of them being an end game finishing sweeper. An ace up the sleeve if you will.
 
I normally run 2 Walls that cover most of each others weaknesses, and at least 1 tank to cover any weaknesses between the 2 walls.

Sometimes, I run 3 Walls that perfectly complement each other aswell, but never more then that.

I use two walls, most of the time mixed walls, Skarmbliss and Weezbliss don't seem to work for me...

I used to use three, one special, one physical, and one mixed; but that didn't work out as well as two walls did.
 
My current team uses blissey, cresselia and forretress. Blissey counters nearly every special attacker except for lucario, which my cresselia can take. And forretress counters the things that cresselia can't take [like heracross/weavile/non-special tyranitars]
 
Usually 2 or 3 if I'm playing competitively.

I'm not that competitive though so I usually just pick 6 Pokemon I feel like using and slap them together. I usually end up losing, but I have fun.
 
Blissey and Gliscor... Mamoswine can take a hit if I EV him defensively, but I haven't. I might put Rhyperior on the squad, but I'm undecided.
So 3 for me.
 
I use Hippowdon/Forretress/Clefable/Cradily/Dusknoir on my SS team. I have ScarfChomp to switch into HPIceless Mixape.
 
I go with 2 walls(Weezing and Regice) and 1 offensively minded but bulkily EV's pokemon(Gyarados), and a pretty bulky spinner(Forretress) and of course 2 sweepers in the last 2 slots.
