Is there a particular term for this sort of layout, instead of it being the traditional vertical block layout? I ask cos I am putting a planning application together for a retaining wall, which will have a fence fitted to the top and this is the sort of layout I need to do, to give me the sufficient depth of the block to bolt down the fence post clamps. Thanks for the clear video too on the setup

hi how many block would i need to build a wall in this same method ? it will be 30 feet long and 7 feet high, and how often would you recommend putting pillars in for strength ? great informative vids by the way. when travelling through wales i always feel sorry for the poor bugger that put all those dry stone walls up hundreds of feet up mountains and all straight too,😅

Hi, love the video. I'm about to tackle my first wall, same blocks laying flat , about 13 long 5 high. I have only ordered one bulk bag of builders sand. Will that be enough and how many bags of cement do you think I will need? Thank you in advance 👍

Yes that be plenty of sand, 5 bags of cement would do fine and put a tiny amount of fairy washing liquid in, it makes the mix better 👍

Are these blocks roughly 90mm thick and 400mm long? I’m American they have similar blocks at my local Lowe’s the measurements are 3.625 in thick, 7.625 in tall, and 15.625 in long. I’m going to be building a similar wall this summer and I like your wall I want to mimic it.

Is there a particular block, that has a name that should be used? Someone suggested. ‘breathe blocks’…..is that suitable ? Thanks.
