Job Site Storage
Until installed, Western Red Cedar siding needs
protection from direct sunlight, water saturation,
snow, ice, dirt, and other elements. Store the siding
flat and off the ground on stickers and a vapor
barrier so that moisture is not absorbed through
the bottom boards of the stack. Protect with a
waterproof covering elevated in the center so
that water does not pool on the cover. Do not
completely seal the bundle, as good air circulation
is required. Ideally, the siding should be stored in
an enclosed building such as a garage prior to use.
