Hi all - im not sure if im doing the right thing here but I have a very small retaining wall (block on flat) and sand/cement render. It was done around 4 years ago and its a mess already. The render is green and in parts pitted and eroding away.
I know theres no drainage but without digging into next doors drive (which is raised above ours) I cant do much now. So im starting to go down the route of plastic battens on the wall (everything stainless fixings) and then cement board fixed to the battens and then tile onto
I was thinking of tanking first and tiling straight onto the existing render but I dont think that is a good idea? I maybe wrong. It will bring the wall out quite a bit so its not without issues but I just want to know if this is the best way really. Is there anything else that can be used instead. We are just trying to hide the wall essentially as its a complete mess. Also what would be the best adhesive for outdoor natural stone use. Possible Mapei S2 maybe?? Not sure. Thanks for any help
