lazzah Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi all,I want to try my hand at building a side gateway which will join up with the one at the side of my next-door neighbour's house. The main column will be 680mm (3 bricks) long, one brick wide and will be about 2440mm high. Could I get away with laying the bricks directly onto the side path (it's fairly level) or is it essential to have a concrete foundation? If the latter, how deep do I need to go?Any advice gratefully received.Many thanks,Larry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plasterur Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 You will need to dig foundations for the brickwork which would normally be 100-150mm thick , usually 450mm below ground level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
