Cedar Lumber Storage: Protect, Preserve, & Ship with Ease
Cedar lumber’s inherent beauty and durability make it a prized material, and strategic warehousing is essential to preserving its quality during storage. Warehouse facilities provide a stable, protected environment ideal for storing large quantities of cedar, offering superior protection compared to outdoor or less-secure locations. Proper stacking techniques are crucial, utilizing pallet racking systems to maximize space and prevent surface damage. Cedar’s natural oils provide a degree of protection against insects and decay, but regular inspection for pests is still recommended. Warehouses offer a secure environment, minimizing the risk of damage from the elements, including rain and direct sunlight, which can contribute to surface checking. Strategic placement within the warehouse, away from heavy machinery and high-traffic areas, is paramount. Furthermore, warehouse storage allows for efficient inventory management and quick access to your cedar lumber supply when needed, streamlining your operations. The robust structural integrity of warehouse buildings contributes to a stable, reliable location for safeguarding this valuable resource, ensuring consistent quality for your projects.
Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 200 square feet, 20ft x 10ft area, Height clearance: 12 feet. A dedicated area of at least 10ft x 12ft is recommended for efficient handling.
Storage Conditions: Dry storage is essential. The area must be well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid direct sunlight exposure. Ensure the floor is level and clean to prevent damage.
Special Handling: Cedar lumber is considered a fragile material. All pieces should be individually wrapped with protective padding – bubble wrap or cardboard – to prevent scratching and denting. Pallets should be reinforced to handle stacking.
Stacking/Shelving: Pallet storage is ideal. Utilize 48” high racking systems to maximize vertical space. Stacking should be limited to no more than three layers to maintain stability and prevent potential collapse. Shelving units with adjustable levels are recommended.
Access Requirements: Loading dock with a minimum width of 12 feet. A standard 10ft wide access door is required. A clear aisle space of at least 8 feet is necessary for forklift maneuverability. Ensure adequate lighting within the storage area. Consider a ramp for accessibility if required.
