When you buy a full cord of wood from your local supplier, most will allow for 20% clearance around the outer perimeter (to leave room for stacking and transport). This means that a full cord of wood will actually be about 80% as dense as the amount you would buy if it was stacked inside your home. In other words, a full cord of green (unseasoned) hardwood weighs roughly 3000 pounds – but only around 2400 pounds after seasoning!
