Who doesn't love the monsoons in Arizona? Hint: Your lumber! Monsoons can lead to mold! Summer heat is here, and it can make your lumber behave in unexpected ways. To prevent your wood from warping or twisting, ensure your bundles are tightly banded and laid flat on stickers. If not, you might face issues. Did you know that lumber "breathes"? It absorbs moisture from rain and humidity, then dries out in heat and low humidity. Have you noticed paper-wrapped lumber starting to mold? If you’re storing wood for an extended period, consider cutting the paper at the ends to allow air circulation. Moisture can seep through holes in the paper, leading to mold, especially in hot conditions. It sounds strange, but it's true! Remember, the critical stage for lumber is from the time it’s cut at the mill until it’s used in construction. Proper storage prevents lumber losses, saving money and protecting the environment by reducing waste.
