    Default Weight of wet timber slabs?

    Does anyone have any information about how much wet timber slabs weigh per square metre for say 50mm thick slabs? Starting to design a slab drying rack.

    They can vary wildly from approximately 500kg/m³ to 2000kg/m³.

    There is no constant, it's species dependent and even then densities can vary considerably depending on where they grow.
