Wheelie bin log deliveries

[Mark Bolam]

As long as it's a ton it's fine.

I never implied all bags were the same, I've only ever seen 1 size of builders bag though.
0.56m3 is the volume of loose timber in a builders bag that holds 1m3 of say sand.
 
as for buying alcohol. A pints a pints and measures are clearly labelled on the optics.

If the bag holds a 1m3 of sand it holds a 1m3 meter of loose timber too.

Builders bags are all minimum 850kg around here in a 90x90x90 bag making the 0.72m3.

FC say in their documentation that 1m3 of loose timber is 0.66m3 stacked. Can't get wrong off anyone if you stick to that calculation regardless of what bag size you use.

We work off IBC volume and then decanted into bags just for delivery. Everyone gets a equal volume that way and don't have to worry about reusing stretched bags. Not that decent ones stretch by any noticeable amount imho.

Sbtv the calculation was for the volume of timber, not including any air space.
Some boffin had worked it out, it's on here somewhere on a thread.

So the customers who keep the bins to store the logs on, surely this is a pain in the backside when it gets half way down having to reach in to get the logs out?  Seems an inefficient storage method albeit convenient 

[Mark Bolam]

Very inconvenient.

There would still be half a ton in there.
