How to Use Jute Mesh for Firewood Bundles

Jute is a plant that grows prolifically in Bangladesh. Jute is woven in fabric that looks much like common burlap sacks. Jute is used for many purposes, one of them stacking and bundling firewood. Bundling firewood into jute mesh makes a convenient carrying and storage method for firewood sales or transportation, particularly around camping areas. One benefit of using jute mesh to bundle the wood is that jute is burnable and leaves no garbage if burned with the firewood.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut a 4-foot length of jute mesh and roll it out near your firewood. Make sure the jute is just slightly shorter than your average piece of firewood's length.

    • 2

      Stack six to eight pieces of wood on one end of the jute. Grip the end and roll the firewood forward, making the jute roll around the entire bundle.

    • 3

      Staple the ends of the jute to a piece of the wood to secure the roll together. Place a plastic strip-style handle on a piece of wood and staple it to the wood, making the bundle a hand-carried bundle of firewood.

    • 4

      Cut longer pieces of jute if you need larger bundles. Roll and staple in the same fashion.
