How many bricks will I need to build a wall? You will need approximately 38 bricks per foot length for an 8-foot wall if the bricks are the standard 7.5" x 3.5" bricks or 9.5" x 2.75" bricks with ²/₅" thick mortar joints. However, larger bricks take up a larger area, and means fewer bricks overall.
