i need to find a way to stack dried lumber that was cut with a ban saw and stacked in my shed .i need an idea to have it all stacked on just one side of the shed like shelves or something so its all in one place instead of the entire shed its mostly 2x4 2x10 and flat boards thanks rick

If the lumber is not dry it certainly should be sticked. However if it has reached the point where it isn't going to get any dryer then I wouud stack it tight together. Mice have gotten into some of the piles I have sticked and eaten the wood away to enlarge their living room. They also stain the lumber. As long as it is DRY, don't stick it, You can't have it get wet though if not sticked, however if in a shed with a good roof you are OK.

I believe the term "sticking" applies to even dried lumber. Place scrap pieces about every 4 ft. between each layer or boards.

Lumber coming off my saw mill is staked 1" for every row so air can go around each board.Some lumber will warp no matter what you do. But if you do buy warped lumber cheap..put it in your pond for a week or so, it won't crack/break when you clamp into place before nailing.

A lot of wood shops use a end load rack. Each bin is 2 or 3 feet wide and 3 or 4 feet high with the supports 4 feet apart. The uprights are 4x4 with the cross pieces resting on the uprights so that the frame takes the weight not the fastners. Be sure to cross brace the frame or fasten to building. Dry hardwoods can weigh 3500 lbs a thousand board feet.

I'm no sawyer, but my Uncle runs a Woodmeiser for over a decade. He says to always stack ends facing North and South. It's an old wives tail, but he says it DOES hepl with warping. Take it for what it is worth. When he comes here to saw, I stack them on an old wagon frame. That way it can be moved where ever you want it put, but can be moved if needs be. Mike

What I have done with wood timbers is take a few pieces of scrap 18" pieces and lay these every 4 feet or so and then lay the full length boards perpendicular to the scrap pieces, stack 4 or 5 high and then put down more 18" pieces and then stack more full length boards and so on. I also store leftover lumber in the rafters in my garage.

As with everything wooden, crown or bow up. With wind or warp WAG it.

I have also done this with boards that have warped in the sunlight or gotten wet.Stacking then will cause them to straighten out again.One of only a few minor things my father in law could teach me.lol,bob
