I dare say some will regard this as a stupid question but one reads of walls collapsing in inclament weather.
Extending the height of a 2 ft high x 9inch x 10yd wall with no piers in at present. I want to extend the height to 5 ft is there any rule against carrying on raising the existing wall which is sound. should I incorporate piers because of the height?.
Or would it be better to demolish the existing wall and start from scratch.
I have the fear of the new section breaking away from the old. Is there any set distance and height before piers become a necessary part of a walls stability.
