Areally big heaped load in my single cab brava will fill 2 builder bags and a couple of nets. So i reckon a big heaped double cab navara load wouldn't be far of a cube and if that is the case £50 is a bargin!!

The space may be a cube but the quantity of wood definately wont be after wheel arches and gaps are taken into account.imo

 

Are you saying its possible to get rid of the gaps? Perhaps they should not be charged for:confused1:

 

Perhaps we have another variable to the "load":001_rolleyes:

If you heap the load or like i do and go above the back height you can compensate for the arches which take up minimal room any way. Its near enough the volume filled that you require. And yes obviously there are gaps which do not make it a solid cube but everyone knows that.

I charge £80 a cubic metre. Very few people baulk at the price and if they do so what. Its hard work and there is more need than supply. So rules of supply and demand apply. Wheel arches or not £50 is a good price.

Thanks for all the responses - on balance it sounds like a good deal. I'll give him a call back and make sure it's definitely ash (by the way, is there an easy way to tell whether split wood is ash or not?) and well-seasoned.

 

There's always gaps in a cube, whether it's in a bag or a pickup, so that doesn't bother me. Wheel arches aren't that intrusive either - I spotted a Navarra in Asda car park and had a gander.:biggrin:

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

Just been on to a chap about some firewood, he's got a Nissan Navara, he reckons a level load is about a cube.

 

Is that about right?

 

 

Mate, I've just had a read through your posts, you're what I call a messer a pain in the jacksy! you're buying a £50 load of logs, not a house! How do you make the bigger decisions in life, with a lot of greif I bet..........:thumbdown:
