Anyone sell logs at the roadside?

Hi we sell logs from the gate about 2000 nets a year, each net has 18 logs .

I think the most important thing with selling log from the gate is to keep them dry, always have logs for sale summer and winter . We do have the odd net that does not get paid for but on a whole most customers are very honest.

thanks chris

 

If you dont mind me asking ; Soft/hardwood, what length are the logs and what price? I am keen we all sell a quality similar product at a similar price to avoid the undercutting war some seem keen to persue.

That seems a sensible price for quality timber. We have to move towards 50/50 for the reasons we all know about and have been discussed at length on the Forum. Thanks

Some of the green bags seem to vary in size and quality. Could you advise on a good size bag for 18/ 9" logs and where to source them?

Much appreciated.
