price of polar timber

[dave fox]

Hi everyone , how much is 40 ton of poplar timber(green) from 12 inch down to 6inch in 15 ft lengths worth delivered . i was quoted £1200 plus vat, it was being hauled 5 miles, this sounds steep to me.

depends how you value the poplar... if you value it similar to beech or sycamore then its half price...haulage would be £200-£250 a load..

I've been watching that david attenbourgh thing and apparently there aren't any trees at the poles....

If you can defiently sell it at say £70 per cubic metre as firewood, then go for it. Not the best of firewoods to say the least, but you should make a profit, especially if you can mix it with some decent stuff.

its like any wood ,once its dry it will burn

[slack ma girdle]

The most that i have ever got for poplar is £15 per cube.

It is unpopular timber to burn: acred smoke, burns quickley with little heat, and difficult to dry due to the waterproof nature of its bark.

Are you sure you want 2 lorry loads ?
