using concrete blocks?
there is a tool designed by an Irish carpenter, the tool is called a "bricky"
visit bricky.com
it shows from start to finish how to build walls and allsorts.
but to answer your question
for a boundry wall
1 measure the area your wall is to span.
2 dig a foundation 1foot deep will do nicely.
3 fill the foundation 8 inches, leaving 4 inches spare.
4 start layong your blocks on appx 1/4 inch of mortar/cement.
use a level to make sure your line is perfectly straight (if the first line is off the rest will be harder to straighten.
5 every 10 blocks along, you should create a pillar.
this can be done by cementing the first 10th block in face of the other and the second row place them face down x2 so you will always have a perfect pillar.
hope that helped :)
To efficiently build a concrete wall for your construction project, follow these steps: Prepare the site by clearing and leveling the ground. Set up sturdy formwork to shape the wall. Mix concrete according to the instructions and pour it into the formwork. Use a trowel to smooth the surface and remove air bubbles. Allow the concrete to cure and strengthen before removing the formwork.
With concrete and precast concrete you can build fences, walls, concrete sound walls, pre-cast concrete perimeter walls, masonry walls, masonry screen walls and more! If you are interested in having a concrete or precast fence, perimeter, sound wall, masonry wall or masonry screen wall, then go to the links below for more information. Well you can make walls, houses, bricks and so on.

Use concrete if you will have any dirt behind the wall.
NO. -Concrete may be a 'dry' wall, however it is NOT Drywall.
27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yardVolume of the wall = 10 x 60 x 1 = 600 cubic feet = 222/9 cubic yards.That's the concrete you need if the wall is completely solid.
When the Berlin Wall first went up, it consisted of a some cement blocks but was mostly made of long coils of barbed wire. In 1976 the East Germans began to build a more permanent structure with reinforced concrete. They built it in sections over a period of 4 years.
To build a retaining wall to stop erosion along a stream, you could begin by placing blocks of concrete or bricks along the base of the stream and up the bank on the side with the most erosion. Use large stones if concrete is not practical for the area. This will stop the water from removing soft sand.
If the concrete wall, fence or other structure is clearly on his side of the property line, the neighbor can do just about anything he wants. It's his property, and as long as the structure does not encroach onto your property, there isn't thing one you can do about it.
To build a sturdy and durable cinder block garden wall for your backyard, start by digging a trench for the foundation and filling it with gravel for drainage. Lay the first row of cinder blocks in mortar, ensuring they are level. Continue stacking the blocks, alternating the direction of the joints for stability. Use rebar and concrete to reinforce the wall every few feet. Finish by capping the wall with concrete blocks or a decorative stone.
The maximum thickness of a reinforced concrete wall is 203 mm.
To determine the number of concrete blocks needed for a wall measuring 226 feet by 4.5 feet, first calculate the wall's area: 226 feet × 4.5 feet = 1,017 square feet. Next, consider the standard size of a concrete block, which is typically 16 inches by 8 inches (1.33 feet by 0.67 feet), giving each block an area of approximately 0.89 square feet. Finally, divide the wall area by the area of one block: 1,017 square feet ÷ 0.89 square feet/block ≈ 1,143 blocks. Therefore, you would need about 1,143 concrete blocks to build the wall.
