I want to build a pizza oven at a friends. He has a terrace with a wall around the edge (about 1 metre high - but a large drop on the other side of the wall). The only place that the oven could fit is in a corner of the terrace. We would like to use the existing wall as the level for the oven and want to know what the best way to build a base would be. Ideally the base would overhang the far side of the wall a little, so we could make the oven a little larger.
My initial thought was to use reinforced concrete bars diagonally across the gap and hanging over the edge of the wall slightly (a couple of inches or so each side) and then lay paving slabs or similar on the bars. Then we could build a insulated base on top of this upon which to lay the oven floor.
Does this sound reasonable? Are there better (or even alternative) solutions to this out there?
