Did you find an inaccuracy?
Our aim was to create calculators for wood professionals that provide the most accurate results possible. However, there are many coefficients, standards, deviations, and calculation methods that vary by country and local conditions, so it is not possible to cover all locations with 100% accuracy immediately. For some calculators, however, it is possible to enter custom parameters, such as wood densities or growth factors.
However, the system is designed so that we can refine it gradually, and we would appreciate your feedback, which will help us improve the calculators further and adapt them to practical use.
