The Maine Garden Hod is a beautiful and versatile product that looks and works great in the home and the garden. Hods were originally used by the French and British for everything from carrying bricks and mortar to measuring and washing alewives. Maine clam diggers have long used hods to hold and rinse their catch. The Maine Garden Hod is styled after the original clam hod and built to last from quality hard and soft woods and durable food-grade vinyl covered mesh. The Original Hod measures 19-1/4":x11"Wx7-14"H and has a capacity of approximately two pecks (16 quarts).
