    how high will the wall be? dont know the answer, but know that the spacing is dependent on the height of the wall.

    Mad m do you mean 4" solids laid on the flat (which will give you a 9" wide wall or do you intend to use 9" Hollows?? A 60 ft wall would require not only Piers (c every 12') but also at least two expansion joints at 20' intervals. Joints can be concealed within Piers.

    Finally a Hollow block construction will require capping, whereas it will be optional with the solid block. ;)
