I have a 9" garden wall, about 6' high.
I want to cut a full-height gateway in it. The piers are about 15' apart.
I was thinking of putting the gateway next to a pier, so the hinge side of the frame would be well supported by that pier. But would it be better to cut it half-way between piers? I don't want to build new piers if I can possibly avoid it. It would be laborious to try to tie it in to the existing strip foundation. There is a tarmac pavement on the other side, and garden on my side.
I think the wall was built in the 1970's.
