NJA has the best idea of 60 bags, personally I'd subtract a few to give you a better idea.

 

Work your costing from 50/55 bags, but be close or the same price as the competition.

Ok perfect, thanks for that👍

I assume you buy in cordwood and are trying to approximate cost ?.

Yeah in an ideal world I'd like to know at least a rough cost before buying but suppose I'll never know exactly until I've processed and bagged it all. Thanks all for your help anyway👍👍

Suppliers I use work with weights, so knowing how heavy a builders bag is means I could work out exactly how much a bag would cost me if that makes any sense

Why are you needing to know the weight ?

Just trying to work out rough costings so I can set my prices accordingly

Of course it is quite easy to find out accurately.  Get a bag full of logs you wish to weigh and then decant it into rubble sacks or similar.  Use bathroom scales to weigh each rubble sack (holding the sack and weighing it and yourself to make it easier to read).

 

 Add them all together and Bob’s your uncle!

Yeah did think of doing this, just didn't know if there was any kind of industry standard that people would go by, but realise it is a bit like 'how long is a piece of string'

Looks like I'll be standing on the bathroom scales for a while tomorrow 😎

Just trying to find out the rough weight of a fully filled builders bag, 0.85 x 0.85 x 0.85m, so about 0.6 cubic metres. Had some people say almost 250kg, but some less than 200kg. I suppose it's one of those questions where any answer goes, but trying to get a better idea of a rough weight.

Looking for a supplier of unprocessed hardwood cordwood near Tamworth, Staffordshire

Ideally would need a regular supply, but still not going to say no to a one-off supply
