Vertical Seam 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 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 corro-

sion. 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, fertil-

izer, and wet or green lumber.
