A good way to work out how high to have your walls is to place your scope pointing at 30 degrees altitude.
Make your wall height to match that angle. Anything below 30 degrees in the sky is rubbish.

Obviously the height will depend on the distance from scope to wall.
A large obs will end up with a slightly higher wall.
