neutral  philgoddard: It doesn't actually say "supported", just "interspersed". The pillars are supporting the metal structure, not the wall.

neutral  teju: As a courtesy to my colleagues, when the answer that I would offer is a variant of something that's already been posted, I make the suggestion in the "agree" or in the "neutral" as you had already done.
5 mins
  -> I actually disagreed with your answer, which I feel is wrong, but I was being polite!
neutral  patinba: The Spanish indicates the wall has long (and therefore also short) sides.
32 mins
  -> Spanish refers to the sides of a rectangle as long sides, and to the ends as short sides.
neutral  Emma Ratcliffe: It never states both sides, it is obvious, it just referes to the longer sides, seen from an engineering point of view.
