Calculadora de cuerdas de leña

Cómo funciona esta calculadora

Stack volume = length x height x depth, converted to cubic feet. Full cords = volume / 128 ft3 (a 4 ft x 4 ft x 8 ft stack). Face cords = volume / (32 ft2 x piece length in feet), because a face cord is a 4 ft x 8 ft face only one piece deep. Cubic meters = cubic feet x 0.0283168 (1 cord = 3.62456 m3); steres = stacked cubic meters. Cost = full cords x your price per cord.

Ejemplo resuelto

A stack 8 ft long, 4 ft high, and 4 ft deep is 128 ft3: exactly 1.000 full cord, 3.62 m3 (3.62 steres), or 3 face cords of 16-inch pieces. A metric stack 2.4 m x 1.2 m x 1.2 m is 3.456 m3, or 0.954 cords.

Suposiciones a comprobar

Volumes are stacked (ranked) volumes including air gaps, matching how cords and steres are defined - the solid wood content is lower and varies with piece shape and stacking.
Loosely thrown wood occupies noticeably more space than the same wood stacked; measure only a tidy, compact stack.
For an uneven stack, use the average height; for a stack that is not rectangular, measure and add sections separately.
Firewood prices vary by region, species, seasoning, and delivery - the cost result uses only the price you enter, not a market price.

Preguntas frecuentes

How much is a cord of wood?

A full cord is a tightly stacked pile 4 ft high, 4 ft deep, and 8 ft long - 128 cubic feet, or about 3.62 m3, including air gaps. Prices vary by region, species, and season, so this calculator does not assume one; enter the price per cord your seller quotes to compare offers.

How many face cords are in a cord?

It depends on piece length. A face cord is 4 ft by 8 ft but only one row deep, so with 16-inch pieces 3 face cords make a full cord; with 12-inch pieces it takes 4, and with 24-inch pieces 2.

What is the size of a cord in cubic meters?

One full cord is 128 ft3, which is 3.62456 m3 of stacked wood. Where firewood is sold by the stere (1 m3 of stacked wood), a full cord is about 3.62 steres.

Is a rick the same as a face cord?

Usually, but not always. Rick is an informal regional name, most often used for a face cord (4 ft x 8 ft x one piece length), and it has no single fixed volume. Ask for the stack length, height, and depth and enter them here.
