split wood vs ringed up wood

[carpenter1]

what takes up more space when stacked? split wood or rings ready to split? all 200mm long

[hardtop110]

Smaller pieces take up more space.

how about loose?

 

if i filled a 3 cubic meter trailer, with rings, then took out to split it all , would i not need to put it all back to make a level load (loose)?

The only thing that takes room is air space within a parameter .( which you need for drying ) but purely on the question It depends on how tightly you put the wood back together . A ring on its own has no air space but several rings together have air space just because of the shape . If they were cubes no air space , but rings yes . If you split the rings into logs or billets and pack em tight so as to minimize the gaps then I tghink they take up less space in a given volume .... but thats no good if you want them dry !

I am pretty sure the heaviest load I have carried in our trailer was all rings so rings are denser then loose logs in my book by some way.

Yea that's true but he said what takes up more space not whats the heaviest .

Not sure if your pulling my leg or not but air is normally on the light side so I suspect loose logs would take up more space
