A cord is a stacked unit volume of wood measuring

4 x 4 x 8 feet

    = 128 cubic feet

This volume includes bark and air space. Due to the irregular shape of wood the air space in the cord can be as high as 40 percent. The net cord volume can therefore be as low as 75 cubic feet. In general net cord volume range 80 - 100 cubic feet.
