    Plywood storage

    I would like to build a lumber rack for storing plywood. I don't have enough room to store 4x8 sheets horizontally so I would like to store on end. I don't want the plywood to warp either. Any suggestions for a good design? Would an angled rack help? I thought about strapping the plywood together or using a bungie to prevent warpage.

    Storing plywood on end or on its side vertically sure saves space. I've used racks that hold the plywood as close to vertical as possible. In my experience, plywood stored vertically or within 10 to 15 degrees of vertical doesn't warp to any noticeable degree.

      Just keep it off the floor--especially if the floor is concrete--and support it as best you can avoiding extremes of humidity and it should be fine.
