Sorry mark didnt mean to sound like i was having a go at you!

depending on order quantity, if full container (28 crates) ordered- delivery free of charge.

cheers, Dan

 

So is that 28 crates delivered in a container? Or 28 crates delivered from a container?

My guess seems to be incorrect then ash 👍

 

No I dont think thats what he said. I understand you will get 2.2 loose cubes even stacked those crates have air space.

Here is one sellers take on volumes. http://www.whitehorseenergy.co.uk/Loose-Stacked

And a quote from a forestry commission PDF

 

'Wood as Fuel, A Guide to Choosing and Drying Logs' .... 1m3 loose volume is approximately 0.66m3 stacked volume.

that sounds about the right measurements

That really does baffle me. I have measured the internal of the crate and thats bang on 2 cubic metres. Its all stacked neatly and i have filled 2 cubic metre bags and nearly filled a 0.25 barrow bag. We then unloaded the bags into our 1 cubic metre bays on the truck and they were right so im really not sure how you can get 2.6+ loose cubic metres out of one of those crates

I had a look at the website and based on the photos on premium woods website they are selling a pretty homogenous product - the logs look straight, all same length and with little in the way of bent stuff, spikes or heavily tapered logs

 

I think that when you take it out of the crate and throw it loose into a pick up etc it will naturally have less broken stowage than the more random logs that I for one tend to produce. If I took the time I could build them into the crate in similar fashion but thrown in a pile or loose into a bag or box they would take a more space than these nice even logs.

 

But I could be talking a load of old tosh!

Stacked Volume:

The stacked volume of firewood is the volume of neat stacked firewood within an area. We convert between stacked and loose volume by multiplying the stacked volume by a factor of 1.6 to find the equivalent loose volume (AEBIOM the European Biomass Assosciation recommends a factor of 1.7). (Please note that the size of the logs contained in a loose measure will significantly affect the volume shown - i.e. if all of your logs are very small this will result in a much greater loose volume than if all of the logs were very large. The loose volume measure if thus somewhat innacurate, and it is always best to consider both the loose and stacked volume when both are given.

 

I had a look at the white horse website and I think they have this the wrong way around - if I have a box containing 1 cubic metre of sawdust and I emptied into another box the same size I would not expect the top of the heap to be much over the box.

 

If the same box was exactly filled with rectangular logs 250x100x100 and I did the same thing I would not expect to get much more than half of them in.

 

Honest I am not really bored at the mo:biggrin:

No problem ash I was only guessing lol. I'm not going to argue with the man that's had wood off them 👍
