Magna-Loc Panels
Tarpaulin
Please inspect panels for moisture accumulation. If moisture has formed, the panels should be unbundled, wiped dry, and
allowed to dry completely. Once dry, carefully re-stack the panels and loosely recover allowing for ample air circulation.
Bundled sheets should be stored high enough off of the ground to allow for air circulation and prevent contact with accumu-
lating water. If possible, elevate one end of the bundle to allow any moisture to run off the panels. Metal Sales recommends
covering the bundle with a tarpaulin. Do not use tight fitting plastic-type tarpaulins as panel bundle covers. While they may
provide protection from heavy downpours, they can also retard necessary ventilation and trap heat and moisture that may
accelerate metal corrosion. If panels are to be stored in possible bad weather, we suggest they be stored inside. Extended
storage of panels in a bundle is not recommended. Under no circumstances should the sheets be stored near or come in
contact with salt water, corrosive chemicals, ash, or fumes generated or released inside the building or nearby plants,
foundries, plating works, kilns, fertilizer, and wet, green treated lumber.
