    Default Storing hardwood..?

    Have just purchased a quantity of reclaimed hardwood, 90x35 & 70x35, most around 3m. Intend to use it for deck joists, some furniture projects, etc. My question is can I just leave it stored down the side of the house on a few bricks, or should it be covered..? Will it warp left sitting in the sun, or has it probably done all the drying out it has to do already? Any info appreciated!

    Definitely store it well, it can warp and twist if left out in weather.
