Hello everyone.
I have started building a wall for our grill area.
The problem is that there is a height difference of about 10cm (4 inches) between the two ends of the planned wall.
The slope was adjusted to the terrace, which is why this height difference occurs.
What is the best way to handle this?
I can hardly put a 10cm (4 inches) thick layer of mortar under the sand-lime brick.
Thank you very much for your advice.

What do you mean by saying that pressure alone won’t hold it?
How is the steel supposed to bond with the bricks? Hello Haribobo
By pressure, I mean the weight. The wall rests on the ground. It is not connected to the concrete slab. If you anchor reinforcing steel into the ground and let the steel extend into the hollow spaces of the bricks, the concrete around the steel will connect the wall to the ground. It’s actually quite simple, just hard to visualize.

Hello
sorry, I was just thinking about shuttering blocks. You are using sand-lime bricks. That won’t work with steel reinforcement.
Are your bricks 17.5 cm (7 inches) thick? That seems too fragile to me. The wall might topple.
StevenDo you really think it could topple? ^^It’s going to be built as a rectangle, and a small concrete slab will be cast on top (as a worktop).
