Hi all,
Back again for some more friendly advice please.
People moved in next door with two Rottweiler's and they soon smashed through my fence. Rather than just replace it with like-for-like but new, which I'm sure wont last too long, thought a concrete block wall would be better. My garden is in two levels, so I want part of the wall to be 1.9m (6') high and part of it can be just 1m (3'). There will also be a piece of wall coming out at right angles halfway along, to support the higher garden level which is 600mm higher.
The 1.9m wall will be 5.5m long, the 1m wall 4m, the right angled wall will be around 2m long and then have another right angle on that for some steps.
My thoughts are to build all the walls out of 215 concrete blocks and when the concrete is poured into the gaps, it will hold all the different levels of wall together. Does this sound a decent plan? Wasn't going to build piers, as I hope the right angled wall would provide some support. On the far end of the 1.9m wall, I will fix this to me shed there, with some timber drilled into both.
I could of course use 100mm blocks laid on the flat.
My final option would be too have a 1m high wall all along and then some fencing on top, that should still keep their dogs out!
Appreciate some thought please, thanks
