Why not try some Barrow bag's 
Lot of extra work involved in netting 

Barrows work well for us. Quicker to load and unload and act as waterproof storage with the lids clothes pegged down well.

Probably our best profit margin when people take 2 at full price over 4 at bulk rate.

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 anyone would charge £70 for a cubic metre of dry hardwood is beyond me.

You'll average about 27 nets from m2 tote 

so paying yourself say £10 an hour for extra wok and doing 25 nets and hour , minus cost of bags you are selling at around £65 a cube ? If you don't mind me askirng , what do you think it costs you to produce a cube of hardwood logs ( not bagged) ?

Cost of a tote bag and netting bags comes to exactly the same, as price is ex yard, no delivery 

As far as £10 hour dream on, under 18 £3.87

Understood but this has to be marginal to say the least, especially when you turn 18.

Sounds like a reasonable price to me, we're not making masses but we're on £9 an hour and delivering it for £70 a cube. 

 

Out of curiosity how are you all selling bags? Is it in bulk for garden centres and garages or do you do a few to individuals if that's viable?
