Here is my very small project. - 13' long 4' high garden wall. - 12" x 12"(or 16"x16") pillars 5' high - 3' width 5' high iron gate will be attached between pillars CMU will be the most common, but I'm really interested in using ICFs for this project. Can I use ICFs for such a small project like this ? How can I build a pillar ? you know it's not a wall.  If you have any smart idea, please advice me. Paul Stevens Registered Users Posts:107 07/24/2008 7:08 AM   Sure you can use ICF's, it will probably just cost a little more. To build the pillars you will need to get some 3/4" plywood and rip it to size, use lots of screws and lots of bracing. Have you thought of how you are going to finish the wall when complete??
