Arb tips

Does anybody ever get tips off this site?

 

Not tips as in advice, but actual physical wood tips?

Cheers

Heaps do Alex. You added your site 4 days ago, you need to be a bit more patient. If you are in a panic for logs this probably isn’t the best route for you to take however

Hi Steve

 

I did expect for it to take time, just trying to gauge a sort of timescale is all

Theres literally no way of gauging it I’m afraid. I have known some sites being contacted the same day as adding a listing, whilst others still haven’t been contacted 12 months down the line.

Best advice we can all suggest is be proactive and speak directly to a few local arb guys.

I just looked at my listing, I was trying to find the data on views/when I created it but couldn't find it.  I think I had the listing a couple of years, maybe 3+ before I got a call and got used.  It's a lot of luck.  I've done better by talking with guys I've seen working nearby.

Once you've made the first contact and got on somebody's radar you'll get more.

thanks Steve.  So yes it works but it may take time.  if you make your site as attractive as possible, easy access, take softwood, take chip even and make it easy to find, it should help.  Which reminds me i should change th photo on mine....current one of a few rounds may give a false impression i can't deal with big loads,  i should change it fo some from back in spring when i had 6 transit tipper loads in a week....that worked out at 12 m3 and all the wood i wanted this year.  my lawn looked like a scene from Big Timber!

Don't pull your parsnips until they have had a frost . They get a bit " woody " else ...
