What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform quantities measured in cords—a North American volume unit for stacked firewood—into cubic feet, a standard imperial/US customary volume unit widely used in lumber and timber measurement.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the volume value in cords that you want to convert.
  • Select 'cord' as the input unit and 'cubic foot [ft³]' as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in cubic feet.

Key Features

  • Converts volume lumber units from cords to cubic feet accurately using the defined conversion rate.
  • Supports calculations relevant to firewood sales, heating fuel estimation, and timber inventory.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without advanced technical knowledge.

Examples

  • 2 cords equals 255.9999999536 cubic feet (2 × 128 ft³).
  • 0.5 cord equals 63.9999999884 cubic feet (0.5 × 128 ft³).

Common Use Cases

  • Pricing and selling firewood by the cord for retail or wholesale customers.
  • Estimating heating fuel requirements based on delivered wood volume.
  • Reporting small-scale forestry or firewood production amounts in timber inventories.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Remember that a cord measures stacked wood including air spaces, not just solid wood volume.
  • Use cubic feet to calculate smaller wood quantities or partial cord volumes with precision.
  • Verify stacking methods and dimensions as regional variations can affect volume estimations.

Limitations

  • The cord volume includes air gaps, so actual solid wood volume is less than the computed cubic feet.
  • Stacking irregularities may cause slight rounding differences in measurements.
  • Conversion assumes standardized cord dimensions of 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft, which may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cord?
A cord is a North American unit used to measure stacked firewood volume, equal to 128 cubic feet.

Why convert cords to cubic feet?
Converting to cubic feet provides more precise firewood volume measurements for pricing, inventory, and partial quantities.

Does 1 cord equal exactly 128 cubic feet?
It is approximately 128 cubic feet, as conversion accounts for common standardized stacking dimensions.

Key Terminology

Cord
A North American unit for measuring stacked firewood volume, typically 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft, equal to about 128 cubic feet including air spaces.
Cubic Foot [ft³]
An imperial/US customary unit of volume equal to a cube with one foot sides, used for lumber and firewood volume measurements.
