What are the best storage techniques for wood?

Proper storage of wood is crucial to ensure its quality and durability. Here are some of the best storage techniques for your wood stock.

• Dry location: Always store wood in a dry place to protect it from moisture. Mold and wood rot can affect the quality of the wood.
• Vertical storage: If space is limited, vertical storage is a good option. This method helps keep the wood in good condition by protecting it from warping. Make sure the wood is securely fastened to prevent tipping over.
• Even placement: When storing wood horizontally, it should be distributed evenly on storage beams to avoid sagging or twisting. The beams should be placed every 45-60 cm.
• Adequate airflow: It is important that the wood is well ventilated to support the drying process and reduce moisture. Leave space between the pieces of wood to encourage airflow.
• Protection from pests: Do not store wood directly on the ground, but on wooden pallets, to protect it from pests such as termites.
