How to best store cedar deck boards?

12 years ago

We are replacing about 20 cedar deck boards on our deck. (16-20' long) But, we're not sure when we can get to it. We just bought them on sale. I was going to put them on our covered porch, on 2x4s spaced about every 4' to prop them up off the cement. But it seems like that might warp them. Can I just stack them flat on the cement (on plastic)?

Anything else I should do?

Thanks.

buy a bundle of wood lath at the local lumberyard and then stack them just as you had proposed to do with the 2 x 4's
