- Read the volume and cords.
How it works
Stacked volume = length × height × depth; one full cord ≈ 3.62 m³.
Worked example
6 × 1.2 × 0.5 m. = 3.6 m³ ≈ 0.99 cords.
Common mistakes
- Measuring loose-thrown wood — a cord is tightly stacked.
- Buying 'face cords' (one row deep), which are much less than a full cord.
