Garden wall
I understand in most cities if you build a concrete or masonry wall
like a privacy wall along the property line you will need a permit, in Miami here you have to design the footings and wind load etc...and it makes a masonry wall fence cost prohibitive. I am wondering when is a wall considered a wall? I mean if I lay concrete blocks around the property just 8" tall I don't think it would be considered a wall, but may be a plant border. So at some point, it becomes a "real wall"? I wonder what the threshold is. I am thinking of doing a concrete border may be 16" tall (two 8" blocks) I wonder if I need a structural footing for that...looking for an effect like this: http://www.rogerhopkins.com/portfoli...checter003.JPG http://www.eruuf.org/Wall.jpg of course, the blocks would have stucco applied and painted. Thanks, MC |
