My neighbour intends to build a freestanding, single skin (4") brick wall. It will be 24m long and 1.8m high.
She tells me it will be built on suitable concrete foundations and there will be one and a half brick piers set at 2m centres (13 piers). These piers will be either 2 or 3 bricks higher than the wall (depending on the look).
The wall between each pier will be set central to the piers.
The soil is heavy clay and there are no trees close to the walled area.
Is the above described method safe and durable for a single skinned wall of that height and length ? She does not have the money to build a double skinned wall.
Any views are appreciated.
