Frequently Asked Questions

How much space does a cord of wood take up?

A full cord occupies 128 cubic feet, typically stacked as 4ft x 4ft x 8ft, though stacking dimensions can vary.

Does stack depth affect how many racks I need?

Yes, deeper stacks mean fewer racks are needed to hold the same volume of wood since more wood fits per linear foot of rack.
