Stacking pine stair treads in a shed

[mossberg]

I have some pine stairtreads from approx 1970. They are quite thick at about 50mm and are 300x820 in size.

They are varnished in the main but do have some bare areas.

I want to store them in a shed but I am after advice on the best way to do that. My thoughts are if they are face to face it won't allow air circulation and could cause issues.

So could you enlightened folk give me tips on the best way to keep them. Some are already a bit bowed but my main thoughts are related to mold etc.

Thanks for your help.

Store them flat with thin spacers (4 should be plenty)between them to allow airflow ,and place a weight on the top.

Thanks Mark, I will see what I have that I can use for spacers. I presume something like 5mm or over will do?

Yes 5mm will be fine
