I'm planning to build a dwarf garden wall. probably 6 courses high, with railings.
From the start I'd been thinking double skin, but as I was shopping around for railings I saw this:

Single skin, but I reckon it looks good, and it would save me a good few hundred quid in bricks.
What do other people think? 6 courses would be well lower than the 450mm considered the maximum safe height for a single skin wall, but there isn't a single garden wall in my neighbourhood that uses single skin - all are double. Is single too flimsy, or would it look a bit thin and feeble?
