Hi,
As the title suggests, we are building wing walls at the front of our new build,
There will be be 4 pillars, 2 at the front, 2 back at the gates
The length of the wall will be 18 ft from pillar to pillar and 4 ft high, with 6 ft high pillars
Was just wondering should we use 4 or 6 inch blocks for that size wall?
Will also put a mini support pillar at the half way point in each wall
Thanks

4" on edge would be typical. as would be a pillar every 4 to 6 feet.
