Hello,
I'm about to build some brick pillars (6 courses high) in my garden to put plant pots on. Nothing fancy. 6 Levels of brick topped with a stone \ concrete slab.
My question is; do I need damp course above the dirt level?
I don't see any damp course on my existing garden dwarf walls, and they seem to have lasted 25+ years (some bricks have been replaced though after crumbling because of frost).
Also, how thick should the foundations be for such a small structure? Cement or concrete foundations?
Bricks are reclaimed second hand.
Thanks.
