Conor Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I'm about to start removing the many, many natural (Bangor blue) slates off the old house. Plan is to stack them on pallets, then use a telehandler to lift them down and store in a far off corner of the site before roofing 6 months later. Do they have to be stacked vertically, or can they just be stacked on top of each other, flat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Our slates that arrived were stacked vertically within a crate, all slates that I have seen are stacked this way, two slates high only. You could make a crate using a pallet as a base and using slats from another . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassanclan Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 They dont HAVE to on their side, but I wouldn't stack them flat, a lot more chance of them breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thanks guys. They are on the thin side, so I'll stack them on their sides. Another little job for the list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Slates tend to get put into crates rather than just pallets. Stack them so they don't all leap out when you take a side off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
