Building a Garden Wall for rendering

[mikey2004]

I am looking to build a garden wall that will be rendered, like this one - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ff/d6/27/ffd627aa8f2f45f377da8216bd348bf7.jpg

The wall will be none retaining and more to just break up the garden. The wall will be about 60cm high.

So how deep would the footings needs to be? What bricks should I use? Can I use breeze blocks?

Thanks

Depending on your ground it could be anything try 500mm and see what happens.
You can use dense blocks for external walls. Or better would be unrendered frost resistant brick.

I would not recommend rendering garden walls in this country/climate. Looks great in magazines and is more suited to south European climates.

I'd go for brick wall with climbing plants.

We built small walls to make some raised flower beds that were then rendered, we dug down 500mm to solid ground as it's all clay around here. We then built the walls 4 blocks high with breeze blocks and rendered and painted them they've survived 2 winters so far with no ill effects
