Will my wall fall over?

[Sam88888]

I’m rebuilding an outdoor shower area and have built a nib wall which is going to have 9 x 11kg decorative breeze blocks on top of it. I woke up this morning thinking that it was a mistake to have not built a brick pier at the end of the wall for structural support. I’m wondering if a wall this short would need one or if there is a high chance the wall would fall over?

Add your pic again as we can’t see it.

Freestanding or free ended walls are vulnerable - yes. Especially those exposed to the wind. A piccy would be good.

The small wall is the one im question. It’s clay brick (305x90x162mm) built on a foundation of road base and concrete 2 courses deep. I didnt tie it into the adjoining wall. The breeze blocks will go on top.

Can you tie it to the other wall still? perhaps by using long bolts from the other side?

Fasten a bracket to it after.
