Hi Everyone.
We've currently got 2 brick plinths that are two brick lengths square and about a metre high. The hollow centre is filled with concrete. From these brick plinths our 5 bar gate is hung from hinges put into the brickwork when it was being built.
My plan is to extend the plinths higher in order to get some taller gates.
My question is can I simply add to the brickwork to the height required and fill the middle void with concrete.
Would something have to be done to make sure the new brickwork bonds with the old.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
