I have a large patio ( I live in CO- at about 7500 feet) and I would like to add a 3 ft.high or so, cinder block wall to be used around a barbeque with a counter surrounding the barbeque. Then add the fake rock to the outside of the cinder block.
Questions: 1. Can I do this if the is no rebar coming out of the patio slab?
2. How do I attach is so it will be strong enough?
3. Dry fit / wet fit?
4. Fill block with cement and rebar? or pea gravel?- is all that too heavy just on a concrete 4" slab?
5. What other problems are there that I cannot forsee at the moment?
Thank you in advance!! RAD
