When it comes to ordering firewood, one of the most common questions customers ask is: “What size firewood bag should I choose?” The answer depends on your household’s heating habits, the type of fires you enjoy, and how much storage space you have available.
At JD Logs, we supply both bulk bags and netted bags of kiln-dried and seasoned firewood, giving our customers flexibility and convenience. But which option is right for you? In this article, we’ll explore the key differences between bulk and netted firewood bags, their advantages, and how to decide which size best suits your home.
Heating with firewood is one of the most rewarding and sustainable ways to keep warm. Whether you’re fuelling a wood-burning stove, an open fire, or a garden fire pit, good-quality logs provide a comforting flame, high heat output, and excellent value for money.
However, ordering the wrong amount of firewood can either leave you running out too soon or struggling with excess logs and limited storage space. Choosing the right firewood bag size ensures:
Let’s look at the two main options in detail.
Bulk bags, often referred to as builder’s bags, are one of the most popular ways to purchase firewood in larger quantities.
A bulk bag typically measures around 70cm x 70cm x 70cm, holding approximately 0.34m³ of firewood. At JD Logs, our bulk bags are filled with premium kiln-dried or seasoned hardwood or softwood, carefully stacked to provide maximum value.
Great value for money: Buying in bulk is more economical per log compared to smaller bag options.
Convenient for regular users: If you rely on your log burner or open fire daily throughout winter, a bulk bag ensures you won’t run out quickly.
Less packaging: Bulk bags are a more eco-friendly choice as they reduce the amount of packaging compared to multiple netted bags.
Ready to Burn certified: Our bulk bags of kiln-dried logs meet Woodsure’s Ready to Burn standards, so you know you’re getting consistent quality and efficiency.
While bulk bags offer excellent value, they do require adequate storage space. Ideally, they should be kept in a log store, garage, or shed where airflow is good, and the logs are kept off damp ground. Customers should also consider access for delivery, as bulk bags are often delivered via pallet or tipped in a convenient location.
Netted bags are a smaller, more portable option, perfect for households that only use logs occasionally or have limited storage.
A netted bag usually holds around 8–10kg of logs, depending on the size and type of wood. They are lightweight, easy to carry, and simple to store in smaller spaces.
Convenience: Netted bags are easy to move and store, making them ideal for smaller households or occasional use.
Perfect for top-ups: If you’re running low on logs, netted bags are a quick and cost-effective way to replenish your supply without committing to a larger bulk order.
Great for outdoor use: Their size makes them practical for camping trips, BBQs, and garden fire pits.
No need for large storage: Netted bags can be stored in sheds, cupboards, or even indoors in baskets, ready for use.
Netted bags are more expensive per log compared to bulk bags, so they’re not the most economical option for households that use firewood daily. They are best suited for occasional fires or as a supplement to larger orders.
To decide between bulk and netted firewood bags, think about the following:
If you use your log burner or stove daily through autumn and winter, a bulk bag is the better choice for value and convenience. Netted bags are more suitable if you only light the fire on weekends or for special occasions.
Bulk bags require more space and ideally a proper log store. If you live in a flat, have a smaller property, or lack outdoor storage, netted bags are easier to manage.
For home heating, bulk bags make sense. For camping, garden parties, or BBQs, netted bags are the more practical option.
Bulk bags may seem like a bigger investment upfront, but they save money over time. Netted bags allow you to spread out costs by ordering smaller quantities more frequently. At JD Logs, we offer free local delivery on qualifying orders, making both options affordable.
No matter which bag size you choose, the most important factor is firewood quality. Burning damp or unseasoned wood is inefficient, produces more smoke, and can even damage your stove or chimney. That’s why all JD Logs firewood products are Woodsure Ready to Burn certified, with a guaranteed moisture content below 20%.
This ensures:
To get the most from your bulk or netted firewood bags, proper storage is essential.
Good storage keeps your kiln-dried logs in perfect condition, ensuring they burn efficiently all season.
At JD Logs, we understand that every home is different. That’s why we supply both bulk and netted bags, giving our customers the choice that best fits their lifestyle. Whether you’re a daily log burner user or someone who just enjoys the occasional fire pit evening, we’ve got the right size and type of firewood for you.
Our logs are sustainably sourced from British woodlands, dried to the perfect moisture content, and delivered straight to your door. From Mold and Ruthin to Chester and Wrexham, we make heating your home simple, reliable, and affordable.
Both bulk bags and netted bags of firewood have their place. Bulk bags are the best value for regular use, offering convenience and cost savings, while netted bags provide flexibility and ease for smaller households or occasional fires.
The right choice depends on how often you use your firewood, your available storage, and your heating needs. Whatever you decide, you can rely on JD Logs for high-quality, Ready to Burn-certified firewood that delivers maximum warmth and performance.
