sloping block wall

[LSB]

Hello

After demolishing the top of some block walls as they were not in a good state we are building the wall back up.

This needs to be on a slope to allow for the roof.

 

This is a rough diagram to show.

 

What we need to know is:

Where the above shows mortar, is this what we use or should we be using concrete.  

The part blocks are cut to approx the right shape and we will put sides where the area is too small.

 

 

 

This is how far we have got, not mortared in yet.

 

The roof line is as per the string.

 

TIA 

Jill

Mortar is fine.

It would better to pitch the roof first,and then do the cuts to suit.

Put the rafters on first then this will give you a better guide to fill in the small sections.

Thanks, we are waiting on the SE calculations on these, but that's probably a good idea.
