Can I safely store reclaimed pine floorboards outdoors?

Yukster · 20 Sep 2016

I've got a bunch of reclaimed pine floorboards that I'd like to store in my side path. These boards will be used to replace the flooring upstairs at some point soon but in the meantime it is in the way. Is there a way to store them safely so that it doesn't get ruined by the weather or get wodworm? Thanks

stored undercover and aired is fine but you then need to store them in the room to be used to reduce the moisture content to avoid shrinkage as they dry out

Thanks. Do I need to take any persuasions to prevent woodworm?
