Storing SIPs Panels

Panels and splines must be covered by tarps to avoid water damage

Once unloaded, use blocking to keep panels elevated and flat. Tarp panels to protect from precipitation and keep panels elevated above standing water. Keep OSB spline material dry and flat. Dimensional lumber to be used for plates and splines should also be kept dry. Wet lumber will swell and become difficult to fit into panel recesses. If necessary, store mastic and aerosol foam in a heated enclosure to keep it above the minimum storage and working temperature.
