Hi All,

I want to build a brick wall 2.1m high on my boundary. I am looking at 440mm square pillars approximately 2.8m apart along a stretch of about 11m. Does this sound about right? Footings 500mm deep with 300mm concrete strip? Any help/advice appreciated.Thanks

Having you got planning permission?

1m at front of property and 1.8 on the side is what is allowed without it.

Andy, Stand to be corrected, but think you will find it is 2m

beach blanket.

The following is taken from BRE good building guide no19

Reinforced brick piers are required either narrow or wide in zone2 (Shropshire). Foundations to be 575mm dig with 500mm depth of concrete. Width to be 725mm.
Brick piers at either end and clear span of intermediate piers not to exceed 1.800m.
Narrow piers 328mm square to be class A engineering with strength of 70N/mm2.
Wide piers 440mm across width of wall and 328mm along length of wall can be same bricks as wall, but must have strength of 20N/mm2.
Every pier to have12mm steel high yield type 2 starter bar with L shaped cranked toe 250mm long centre of pier. Starter to be set in concrete found 50mm clear of dig bottom and 450mm above foundation top. 12mm ditto to above steel bar to be wired to starter bar to height required. Inside of pier and starter bar to be filled with concrete 75mm slump
DPC to be two course of Staff Blues. Copings either two course tile creasing, sand cement fillet and Staff Blue or twice weathered concrete with 25mm overhang and pre formed drip. Both of above to have flexible DPC under.
Expansion Joint every third panel adjacent to the pier. Use only stainless steel slip joints. Expansion joint to be continuous through DPC and coping.
Mortar mix to be 1 Portland 1 lime 4.5 sand and admix.
The above is an extract of all that you require, In our opinion some of it is over the top, but your decision.
Regards oldun
