| Firewood is usually sold by the cord (cordwood), but is also sold in truckload quantities. A full cord of wood (stacked tight) measures 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long (4’x4’x8’) and has a volume of 128 cubic feet. A half cord is 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 4 feet long (4’x4’x4’) and has a volume of 64 cubic feet. Firewood is also sold in smaller quantities, namely by the quarter cord which is 2 feet high by 4 feet wide by 4 feet long (2’x4’x4’). Half and quarter cords are sometimes delivered stacked and shrink-wrapped on pallets. |
