Hello,
I have dismantled my decking boards (Cumaru/Bangkirai boards) which were installed at the beginning of 2015 (Terrace uncovered).
Now I am wondering how I should store them over the winter.
I want to reinstall them elsewhere next summer.

The boards are currently damp and wet due to the weather.
Should I store them stacked outside under a tarp?
Should I store them stacked in the garage?

I want to avoid the boards becoming moldy when stored stacked over the winter.

Thank you very much

Hello,

if the garage is well ventilated, you can store the floorboards there, otherwise it is probably better outside. The most important thing is that you do not lay the floorboards tightly next to each other. So when stacking, always leave a space of 1-2 finger widths on the side and place spacers crosswise between each layer.
