    Garden retaining wall, concrete block k-rend and cavity?

    Hi folks, I’ve done quite a bit of research but can’t find the exact answer to the exact question I have; do I need a cavity in a 2 skin concrete block wall to satisfy k-rend requirements? Background. I have had a 1.5m block retaining wall built and hope to k rend it (eventually after other...
