Conversion for cubic metres of cord into cubic metres of split logs!!

[arniecardigan]

Anybody know of a conversion to work out how many bags of 9-10" split logs I will get from a cubic metre of cord!

I've been offfered 25cube of softwood cord delivered for just under £900 but I'm unsure of what that will convert to once processed!!

 

Any help much appreciated.

Sounds expensive to me

If you mean nets of logs i.e 10 logs per net (average) then I would say 35-40 nets per cubic metre

So you reckon on getting 35-40 nets from a cubic metre of stacked cord, that would equate to about 2 builders type dumpy bags?

Hope I don't sound like an anorak,but I like checking stuff like this.

I bought an artic of softwood[26 cube they claimed] it converted into 100 dumpys or approx. 50 cube of split firewood.

I was also curious about the margin on netting logs,i took 3 dumpy bags[worth£100 to me at the time]and netted them to make 75 good nets containing 10-12 logs in each.

Results for me was@£2.50 a net I converted£100 of logs into £182 in 2.5 hours,the nets were £10 so I reckon a gain of approx.£29 a hour of effort,also gave me a new set of customers as the only garage in my town sells nets at £4.10.

Great thinking

Thats what I was after!!

 

So my 25cube load of cord at £900 would/could convert to 100ish dumpies at £50ish each making £5000 minus the cost of processing and delivery!!
