what size are the nets? i am in county louth and thinking of doing something similar. do you hire a processor to split the wood?

[jensma]

sorry, should have read the text about the processor. what are you selling the nets for and how many are your customers taking at a time? just trying to work out if its viable for me to take on with something similar here.

Hi there you must be using a large net for your logs i use the 65cmx45cm i put 10 logs max in them i pay £600 for a 8wheeler load and it makes 1200nets no fail every time.you woul be better off buying your nets from over here allready done ther is an advert on ebay 50nets @£60.00 8 logs in each net and the guy has got loads of the stuff.

nets i buy 50cm x 70cm each net roughly about a dozen logs the customer is looking for value the way the country is i sell each net for 3 50 euro have a good round also supply a few local shops and garages i should maybe get a few smaller nets and give them a try

Coillte is roughly that price across the country, standard price.

 

You might get it cheaper from the north but haulage might make up the difference.
