Kiln-Dried Lumber Storage: Perfected for Strength & Stability
Timber Kiln-dried Lumber thrives in a well-managed warehouse environment, offering a robust and stable storage solution for maximizing its inherent quality. Warehouses provide optimal protection from the elements, shielding lumber from direct rain, snow, and excessive sun exposure, which can lead to warping and surface damage. Strategic stacking is crucial, utilizing methods like pallet racking or lean-to storage to ensure consistent airflow and prevent compression, maintaining the lumber’s dimensional stability. Regularly inspect stacks for any signs of shifting or instability, addressing these promptly to prevent potential issues. Proper ventilation within the warehouse space is paramount, allowing moisture to escape and preventing buildup. Furthermore, warehouse storage allows for efficient inventory management – facilitating rapid access and minimizing handling, which can damage the wood’s surface. The expansive space of a warehouse supports larger quantities and allows for organized storage, ensuring lumber remains ready for immediate use and fulfilling the demands of your project. Maintaining a clean and organized warehouse environment contributes significantly to the long-term integrity of your timber investment.
Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 200 square feet, ideally 20ft x 10ft, with a height clearance of 12 feet. A larger area of 300 sq ft (15ft x 20ft) is recommended for anticipated growth.
Storage Conditions: The lumber must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent warping and discoloration. The floor should be level and constructed of a durable material, such as concrete or epoxy.
Special Handling: Timber kiln-dried lumber is considered a fragile material. Pallets are essential for protection. Each stack should be padded with 2-inch foam or cardboard to prevent damage during handling. Lumber should be inspected for any existing damage before storage.
Stacking/Shelving: Lumber should be stored on pallets, stacked no more than 4-5 pallets high. Pallets should be 48” wide and 40” long. Utilize sturdy shelving units designed for heavy loads, spaced no more than 4 feet apart.
Access Requirements: A loading dock with a minimum width of 12 feet is required. Door width should be at least 10 feet for easy access with forklifts. A clearance of 10 feet around each pallet stack is necessary for forklift maneuverability. A secondary access door of 8ft x 8ft is advisable.
