Posi Joists going to get wet

[richo106]

Hi all

 

Due to delays in the project my posi joists will be delivered next week and more than likely won’t be used to after Xmas.

 

what is the best way to store these? Is outside covered up ok?

 

also does it matter if these get wet? As when they are installed it will be weeks before the roof is on and stopping them get wet?

 

will they dry out ok? Will the temperature/wet warp them at all?

 

Many Thanks

Posi joists getting wet isn’t a problem 

They will dry out 

As long as they are stored off the ground they will be fine 

You could put them on spats 4x2 and throw a tarp over
