List four requirements when storing large quantities of sheet materials.
Correct storage is important for all wood-based panels.
Care is needed to avoid
(1) mechanical damage to panel edges and corners and to
(2) avoid damage from wetting or high humidity or
(3) injury to the persons undertaking the storage and handling operations. Storage on site
(4) Panels must be protected from rain and direct wetting at all times.
Correct method of edge stacking
The top stack with skids directly above each other is correct
The Bottom Stack with poorly spaced skids is incorrect (can result in panel damage and deformation)
