Conservatory (three stone walls and one of sliding doors) with recently quarry tiled floor (chipboard with hardiebacker on top).
Before I finish the tiling (I'm working towards the back wall) I'm now thinking of running a low wall along one length, about 18"-24" out from the existing wall. This would be for plants, as in old style conservatories and greenhouses. 18"-24" high, and about 16 feet long.
What building materials could I use?
Some kind of timber and plasterboard stud wall construction, with either a timber or a tiled "coping" along the top? But how to keep it stable as it would only be attached to the floor and each end wall?
Breeze blocks? But would the floor joists take that kind of construction?
I was thinking I could line the whole thing with some kind of membrane to keep any overwatering from damaging either the existing or the new construction.
