I recently had the opportunity to get 4 walnut boards that are 10/4 x 97". They range in width from 8" to 11.5"
Of course I knew I wanted them, so I loaded them in the Explorer and away I went. Now I'm home with no place to really store them and a wife that's giving me that look. You know the one.....
Without knowing what I want to do with them just yet, my storage options are limited to the following:
1) Under our deck, which is out of the sun. Unfortunately it has a decent slope to it and does get fairly wet during rain. Obviously I could put a tarp over them but I would be worried about warping, nesting animals, boring bugs, etc.
2) Possibly, in the garage. I'd need to move a fair amount which I'm not opposed to, but irrespective of that they would need to be stored vertically. Stacking them horizontally on stickers is NOT a possibility.
I've not had experience storing larger pieces of lumber like this for long periods, so I'm turning to the experts for all advice, opinions, and thoughts you have to help ensure these pieces stay in the best possible shape they can given the storage options I have.
As always, thanks in advance!
