A standard brick hod can hold up to 12 bricks. It is a personal choice over how many to transport at once, depending on strength and stamina.To fully load the brick hod:
Lean the back panel against something stable.Load two bricks side-by-side against the back panel.
Place another two bricks on top of the first two, but facing in the opposite direction. Continue stacking the bricks, alternating the brick direction for each successive layer, until the brick hod is full.
Carrying a brick hod
The hod is carried with the junction between head and handle resting on the shoulder. The handle is held, preferably by two hands, at around chest level.
