Buy Stringybark Firewood in Perth – Seasoned Bulk Loads
Our stringybark firewood shows pale straw to light brown timber with an open, straight, fibrous grain. Stringybark is lighter than box or Jarrah, so it catches quickly and burns bright and fast. It is great for getting a fire going, for shoulder-season fires and for mixing with denser timber in a longer burn.
This species grows in the eastern states, so we source it interstate from established suppliers and bring it into Western Australia in line with WA biosecurity requirements for firewood: clean, bark- and soil-free timber that is subject to inspection on entry. Interstate timber arrives by batch, so confirm current availability with the yard before paying.
Why Perth buyers choose stringybark firewood
- Sold by weight: every bulk load is weighed on certified loader scales before it leaves our Baldivis yard, so the tonnage you order is the tonnage you receive.
- Seasoned and ready to burn: moisture is checked before a load is listed, typically sitting at 10–15%, well under the 25% level where fires struggle.
- Cut for Australian appliances: pieces generally run 250–350mm, a loaf-of-bread length that suits most open fireplaces and slow-combustion heaters.
- Four load sizes: ½, 1, 2 and 3 tonne, from $269 for a half tonne to $1,339 for three tonne, with a lower per-tonne price on larger loads.
Best suited to
- Fast fire starts and shoulder-season fires
- Mixing with denser hardwood
- Outdoor fire pits
- Budget-conscious buyers

Lighting and burning tips
Start with an Exotic Natural Firelighter and a handful of dry kindling, build a small, hot fire and then add two or three pieces of stringybark firewood with gaps for air. Use Stringybark to start the fire and bring the firebox up to temperature, then add denser wood.
Delivery and pickup
Bulk loads are tipped onto your driveway or a safe, accessible spot in Perth metro, Monday to Saturday from 7am. Prefer to collect? Yard pickup in Baldivis can be arranged seven days a week. Bring a trailer or ute rated for the weight you order.
How to choose stringybark firewood for your home
Before you buy stringybark firewood, check these points against how you plan to use it. The live options and prices on this page take priority over any general buying guide.
- Check that your heater, fireplace or oven permits this fuel type and piece size.
- Estimate how often you burn: occasional weekend fires need far less than nightly winter heating.
- Plan a raised, covered and ventilated spot to stack the load after delivery.
- Follow local fire restrictions before lighting an outdoor fire pit.
How much stringybark firewood should I buy?
A half tonne suits occasional fires or a first try of a new species. One to two tonne covers regular evening use through part of winter, and a three-tonne load suits households that heat with wood every day. It is better to reorder than to store more than you can keep dry. Many buyers compare Box firewood and Yellow Box firewood before deciding.
Storing your stringybark firewood
Stack the wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, cover the top and leave the sides open so air can move through. Keep the stack away from house walls and fences, and bring a few days of wood indoors at a time. Use older stock first so every fire burns dry and clean.

Questions about stringybark firewood
Is Stringybark good firewood?
It is good for quick, bright fires and starts, but burns faster than dense hardwoods, so expect more reloads.
Should I mix Stringybark with other wood?
Yes. Mixing it with Jarrah, box or Wandoo gives easy lighting and a longer burn.
Can I get help choosing stringybark firewood?
Yes. Tell us how you plan to use it, the load size you are considering and your delivery suburb. Contact the yard or browse all bulk firewood to compare species.
