Hi
I have a garden wall which in some places is two courses high, in others about 10. It's a sloping curves wall.
It's poorly built. I need to do a short term (3yr) fix to make is slightly more presentable.
There is no DPC.
The soil side is bare brick.
I've read that it cannot be rendered unless it is engineering brick, there's a DPC and soil side is black jacked/has a DPM.
BUT....I think read, that actually, as long as it's a "proper" brick it doesn't need DPC, or soil side DPM, and can be rendered?
Like here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/is-dpc-worthwhile-in-a-garden-wall.433399/
So here is the brick that my shoddy garden wall is built from, thoughts?
Can I render straight onto it?
Thanks
