Ok, first what is the frost line in your area, second one thickness of
bricks will not be sufficient to make a retaining wall, pour a footer below
the frost line, and set two rows of 4 inch block with rebar into the footer,
and fill the voids with concrete then face with the brick you have.

Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie here & have a couple of questions about a retainer wall. I
scanned the files quickly, but didn't see where my question was covered.
I need to construct a small retainer wall near my front porch.....just a
PLAIN, STRAIGHT wall, starting at about 16-18 inches tall & tapering
slightly to the opposite end. The length will be no more than 9 feet. I
have plenty of brick like my house is bricked with & would like to use them
for this project. What kind of footing would you recommend & should the the
wall be only ONE brick THICK?? Do any other considerations come to mind?
Many thanks.
