Hardwood nets

[farmboy3]

what are you guys charging for hard wood log nets please and what size nets do you use?

[eggsarascal]

Kid next door to me is £4/net, or three for a tenner. Don't know size of nets but I'm guessing there are about a dozen logs in each net.

How many nets do you get from 1m3 of logs?

I am thinking of selling logs in net bags as some folk prefer to buy smaller quantities, and instead of selling a cube of firewood in vented ton bags, selling it in stacked nets? It would be easier to load and unload in nets than dragging ton bags in and out of the van, also easier for the customer to move them to their storage location. What about the cost comparison between a vented ton bag verses how many net bags? And as the logs are more tightly packed in nets does it mean the customer gets more logs than in a ton bag? I'm just thinking maybe handling the logs in smaller more manageable quantities might suit a small scale business with limited storage space and transport options?

well the way i see it, if you sell a cube for say £70 ? bag a cube up see how long it takes plus the cost of nets,

you will maybe needing £90 for the load now and may well price yourself out of the market,

If you tell your customer there load is coming in nets i rekon they will ask you the price of a loose load...IMO.

Why not try some Barrow bag's 

Lot of extra work involved in netting
