If you are going to stack and sticker your boards, put the first sticker as close to the end as you can as that is how far the end checking will go. You might only have to square that end to eliminate all of the checking. Painting the ends of the boards will all but eliminate checking but I question whether it is worthwhile on pine lumber. For sure you want to paint the ends of high value hardwoods. Put stickers no farther than 3 feet apart on pine, much less on hardwood. The logs may vary in length but put the last line of stickers as close to the other end as possible. Make sure the stickers are lined up one above the other on both sides of the pile. If you miss lining up the stickers by 2" on the second row, all the lumber above that will warp there.
Make sure to provide a good footing under the pile that will support the pile and keep it off the ground. There should be a footer under each line of stickers. I found that putting one sticker on top of the footer would limit the molding of the wood where it would otherwise touch the footer. Put 2 stickers with a gap between them on each end footer to keep the footers level, the other footers can have just one sticker centered.
