Seasoned Firewood Delivery in Sidney, BC

A Small Town at the Top of the Peninsula

Sidney is a compact seaside town at the north end of the Saanich Peninsula, between the Pat Bay Highway and the water, with Victoria International Airport just to the west and the BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay a few minutes north. That layout shapes how firewood works here. Lots tend to be smaller than out in North Saanich, many homes have a single driveway or a lane, and a growing share of people live in townhouses and condos.

None of that rules out a cord. It just means deciding where 128 cubic feet of wood will land before the truck arrives. Stacked 4 feet high and 4 feet deep, a full cord runs 8 feet long, so measure the side yard, carport or back fence line you have in mind.

Dumped Delivery on a Town-Sized Lot

Our wood is delivered dumped, not stacked, so the truck needs to back onto a firm surface close to where you want the pile. In Sidney that's usually the driveway apron. Text us a photo if your drive is shared, sloped or tucked behind a fence, and mention anything overhead such as wires or a carport roof.

Living in a strata? Check with your council before you order. Many stratas don't allow a pile of wood on common property, even for an afternoon.

Salt Air and Storage by the Water

Sidney's waterfront streets get sea air and wind-driven rain through the winter. Our wood arrives air-dried to under 20% moisture, and the job after that is keeping it there:

• Stack it off the ground on pallets or rails so it never sits in a puddle.
• Cover the top of the stack but leave the sides open so the breeze can move through.
• Keep the stack a little away from the house wall for airflow and to keep insects off the siding.
• Before a stormy stretch, bring a few days of wood indoors or under a porch roof.

Fireplaces, Inserts and Patio Fires

A lot of Sidney homes burn wood for comfort rather than as their only heat: an evening fire in the living room, an insert that takes the chill off in spring and fall, or a backyard fire pit in summer. For that kind of use, a single cord at $475 can last a long time. Households running a wood stove all winter often step up to 2.5 cords for $1200, delivered in one drop with one delivery fee.
