It's a 10' by 5'6".Looks like an 8 x 4 to me .
We are £2.50 a dozen at the gate collected.It's the same with everything. You'd be flabergasted by the number of folks on FB flogging eggs / hay / haylage ( at way below COP )/ logs.......
The word " diversification " has a lot to answer for.
One thing I have learned after many years. Don't try and compete on price with the beer money boys.It's the same with everything. You'd be flabergasted by the number of folks on FB flogging eggs / hay / haylage ( at way below COP )/ logs.......

thought i seen you at it last weekThat’s what you need for cost cutting. Runs on fresh air. Far easier than a chainsaw.

its a cube measuring 1m x 1m x 1m
actually i think a metal cage ibc might be a m3
Most of it is measures in a bag 1m3 lose filled. Its on the the FB/web and Yell page detailed as such. It weighs so where near 1 tonne. Agree around 50% stacked and this is where some people have moaned.careful here fellas
Round timber is often traded by the cubic meter. and a cubic meter is generally very close to 1 tonne, so timber is nowadays often weighed onto the truck with a weigh cell on the crane.
Softwood sawlogs are/were usually 'top diameter' measured, and volumes taken straight from tables supplied by HM stationary/FC dept.
Those tables allow for a moderate taper, and species/long lengths with a greater taper will 'weigh heavy'.
however, stack measure, and the contents of a crate, are something else, ranging from 50% of the overall stack (boney difficult to stack round timber) through to maybe 70-75% for well stack regular logs. (might go higher, but not my expertise)
Stack measure will often be referred to in the deal.... '£xx per cubic meter on stack measured at y%'
Retailing logs it's safer and fairer to stick to set agreed volume. (a net, a crate, a truck full to overflowing etc)
Of course, you might want to discuss hardwood sawlogs traded in 'hoppus feet', but we'll save that for when we're older.
(and yes they still are, EU or otherwise.)
