What’s the difference between quantities of “loose fill” logs and “stacked” logs?
If you take a pile of jumbled, loose logs and stack them tightly and neatly in your log store (or pack them tightly in nets), the pile of stacked logs takes up less space than the jumbled pile. In fact it takes up considerably less space.
Independent industry experts such as The Forestry Commission, The European Biomass Association and Woodfuel state that one cubic metre of loose logs, when stacked, will take up a volume of approximately 60% to 70% of a cubic metre.
Why do you measure and sell by a volume of loose logs?
After we’ve cut and split the wood into logs, they then go into one of our drying boxes until they’re properly seasoned. Each drying box is designed to allow maximum ventilation and the gaps between the loose fill logs allow the air to circulate to aid the drying process. When we’ve tested the moisture content of a sample of the logs in each box and they’re ready to be delivered, we then tip them into the back of one of our trucks as a loose pile of logs which we then usually tip out of our trucks on delivery. The whole processing, drying and delivery process is therefore based on quantities of loose fill logs.
Doesn’t a “builder’s bag” full of logs hold a cubic metre of logs and weigh a ton?
No! These bags are usually designed to hold a ton of building material such as sand or gravel. Also called “dumpy bags” or “bulk bags”, the most common size can hold about 0.7 cubic metres of logs which, being less dense than sand or gravel, will weigh considerably less than a ton.
