One cord is defined as 128 foot³ (~3.62 m³), corresponding to a woodpile 4 foot wide × 4 foot high × 8 foot long. In the United States, the cord is defined by statute in most states.
Another measure of wood volume is the face cord (sometimes called a rick), which usually does not have a legal definition, and its size varies regionally. For example, in Wisconsin, the log length is usually 16 inches. In this case, a "face cord" would consist of a pile 8 feet wide × 4 feet high of 16 inch long logs.

A full cord of wood is 128 cubic feet and measures 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet. Obviously, if the volume really is 128 cubic feet the wood can be stacked in any configuration and will still be equivalent to a chord.
