Wholesale bulk firewood ideas

Hi all,

 

Another (hopefully not, but probably) daft business idea to run past you fellers (pun intended).

 

Looking at things to fill time and make money, much like everyone, and don't object too much to the idea of wholesale softwood firewood. We've got all the kit required to do a firewood properly but for the processor.

 

I've done the sums for production costs, and the question is, would there by much demand for artic loads of 1m cubed ventilated bags of unseasoned softwood at £33 a bag loaded to a lorry?

 

Not really interested in doing hardwood.

 

Opinions, positive or negative would be much appreciated!

Near Edinburgh sadly! I would think that I'd be able to get 48 bags to an artic, or thereabouts.

 

Just trying to gauge demand. I hate dealing with the public, and my sawmilling business is now angled towards larger sales, less frequently. I'd do the same on firewood....

We priced shipping south few years ago and was going to work out around £800 a load think it was to Kent, back loads obviously cheaper.

 

I got a quote for sawn timber to Gloucestershire the other day for £700 a load, which I thought was excellent.
