    Default Storing reclaimed floorboards

    I got a reasonable amount of floorboards from the neighbours who are renovating. I believe it is brushbox. 130x19mm or so tongue and groove boards.

    I haven't stored hardwood before. I figure this stuff is likely pretty well acclimatised to local conditions given it has been literally next door for decades but wanted to check on optimal storage.

    Will be storing on some garage shelving / racking in the shed.

    1. Don't worry, stack however, it's gonna be fine
    2. Tightly stack on face
    3. Tightly stack on edge
    4. Stack on face with stickers
    5. On edge with spacers between boards

    They are nice straight boards and I would be annoyed if I stuffed them up with storage.

    Thanks in advance

    I stack anything seasoned and dressed face side and ensure that the first layer is flat, as any small bump will accentuate throughout the stack.

    I've never had any issues to date, however, I could be doing it wrong!
