I did a similar thing along a cinder block barn wall. Used railroad tie foundation, stablized
with thick rebar driven into the ground (through drilled rr tie).
Did a stud wall frame (could have been wider than the 16in oc) and covered with double
poly because I'd seen too many failed k-wall, fiberglass panel installations (got too
cloudy too early in the life of the panel).
My goal was a cheap greenhouse that got the job done- it didn't necessarily increase
the property value. Don't forget to paint the studs white!
Regards,
Mike

I'd worry first and foremost about what all that moisture is going to do to the
structure of my building.
