Softwood firewood prices

[Growls]

Hi,

 

Im looking for guideline prices for unseasoned softwood sticks delivered per m3 or by builders dumpy bag.

 

Thanks.

Delivered to where?

[Growls]

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I'm looking for a guide on what to charge. I'm not looking to buy.

 

What are people charging including delivery within, say 10miles of base.

 

Thanks.

I would say £10-15 a cube less than hardwood since it's only really the wood itself that you're making a saving on. As for actual price it depends where your based and what others around you are charging. Sorry that's not much help. :-)

That's ideal, cheers.

 

Im looking to by a load of reject pallet wood, process the lot and sell half to cover all the costs. That way I get free firewood and a drop of excercise.

 

Is there much demand for unseasoned softwood?

I think he is buying saw logs, not pallets.

Just season them then sell for ~ £55/m3. Dumpy bags = 0.75m3.

Thanks.

 

I'm buying pallet logs. I've got a small processor which will handle it and 2.5m pallet is relatively easy to handle. Chip wood logs are cheaper but some would be too big to handle without a loader.

 

I've got enough room for logs, proccessor and my own sticks but I don't have any room to store and season so I'm keen to sell as soon as it's off the processor. I'll try to get old logs so the wood is semi seasoned.

 

Thanks again.

Sounds about right, what I charge.
