Vented bag Sizes

[Lillywhite Timber]

Im wondering about vented bag sizes and suppliers . Essentially im after being asked to supply a shop with bulk bags of hardwood . They have sold firewood with a degree of success before and they were describing bags around 1.4 - 1.5 m high with a plan area of 0.9m x 0.9 m from memory . 

Has anyone ever come across bags like these ?

No but bet they're pricey.

cant they supply the bags and you fill?

Id say youre right . They have a fair few (30-40 ) secondhand ones but they look well stretched so its the price of bag versus volume of extra timber youre not really getting paid for question .

At that kinda height, I wonder if they were potato bags?

Can you not decant logs from a solid vessel so you can quote by a definite volume rather than per bag. Doesn’t matter if they’re stretched then.

I suppose you could but id say the emphasis will be on appearance , as in if you put the theoretical correct volume in and its still a bit below the top people will imagine theyre not getting full value .

Just say product may be partial to settling out?

Certainly Wood sell a tall 1.6 cube bag that sounds like it might fit the bill.

 

As a slight aside how is your customer going to handle the aforsaid filled bags,  they will weight 500 kg or more each.
