Ah ha, i just found out a 'Fadge' is 700D x 700W x 1000H
So, 28 x 28 x 40 inches, thats quite a bit smaller than i thought it was.
A fadge is a polypropylene sack with 4 flaps, one on each side, each one will fold over and cover the whole top of it.
Its actually designed to hold wool & fits in a wool press, thats a double height wooden contraption.
The wools thrown in untill its full, then the lid is put on and a winch pulls the lid down, squashing the wool untill its 1/2 the volume, then somehow the flaps are folded over and fastened with metal hooks.
So with there being a lot of sheep here, a fadge has become a defacto standard sack like container of sorts.
Wool bale is what i know them as in aus....... we get cans full of them all the time from farmers and drunks. they have clip with pointy ends, almost like a broken chain like
to fasten them. im sure if you googled wool bale clips itd come up...
