    Garden wall - concrete block type

    Postby heliart » Sun Jan 31, 2010 11:54 pm

    Hi there,

    So I've done quite a bit of block work before.
    Built a single storey workshop with cavity wall etc, and been through the building control process, so not an issue with technique.

    Where I would like some advice is that I'm replacing a section of garden fence with a 6ft wall. This is a non retaining wall. It's about a 15M run. My plan is to constructed from 100mm wide dense concrete block, with pillars every 3 meters.

    Is this the best construction method, or would I be better off with hollow blocks (concrete filled) or wider blocks and reduce the pillar count?

    Cheers all,

    Steve
