I need to 'join' two parallel brick walls - about 3' long & 5
courses high and about 1" apart.

They are in a garden and one wall has a small gate post fixed to it.
This wall has partly fallen down & needs rebuilding, the other wall
is as solid a rock.

Plan A was to use steel frame ties to bond the two walls together &
improve the overall strength. Plan B could be to pour a wet
concrete or mortar mix into the 1" gap once the wall has been
rebuilt or indeed as it's being rebuilt. In the latter case I could
PVA everything. Any thoughts as to which method will be stronger? Would
mortar be
better than concrete?



Is the other wall a neighbours wall? I'd be very wary of building
onto their wall if it is?

Odd situation actually. Street of terraced houses which apparently has a
right of way or something through the back gardens, so each house has a gate
into the neighbours garden. I'm told its in the deeds or something that
they can't block them off?

Anywho, they are jointly employing me, so no probs.

Good point though.
