STORAGE
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 restack 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 accumulating 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 circum-
stances 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 or green lumber.
