1 cord is 4x4x8 = 128 cubic feet
I have been getting these over sized and oddball sized pallets from a local tractor & equipment dealer for free. I have not wanted to take the time to take them apart and make them so they are exact 4x4x8 inside dimensions. So I have been assembling them pretty much as I get them. by screwing some ends to the bottoms. A few I have had to mod a little bit though, but not much. I am trying to make each one hold as close to 1 full cord as I can.
I have made some nice firewood racks out of them, for nothing more then a little of my time and little bit of money for screws or nails to put them together. The INSIDE dimensions of this one pictured is 7' 4" long 6' tall and 3' wide, so if I am doing my math right that would be 133.2 cubic feet of wood once full to the top of the rack, 5.2 cubic feet more then 1 cord of wood.
