February 8, 20197 yr comment_177641 Hello Lissa Lay it flat on something up off the ground and cover it with something water-proof. If you have several pieces, separate them with little sticks for good aeration. hat Report

February 9, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_177670 Lissa, you might be OK for a while especially this time of year, but IIRC you live coastal (close) North Carolina. The heat & humidity to come will cause some issues sooner than later. I'd worry about attracting insects too. What are the approximate molding sizes (LxWxH) and total quantity? Report

NO!!! it will grain lift, check, split, warp, swell, go moldy, curl and turn to garbage because you put it in a non-climate controlled environment.. Both Herb and I have VOE here... Report
February 9, 20197 yr Author comment_177679 Workshop is not climate control either but I suppose better In some ways. It is a lot of molding but thank you all for your answers so will move it into workshop Report

February 9, 20197 yr comment_177689 Hello Lissa. I agree with the warnings given above. I have seen people use plastic wrap like saran wrap to wrap the entire bundle. I have stored small pieces of molding in my unconditioned garage for log times w/o apparent damage. Its pretty dry in Northern Utah. Its difficult to give a recommendation w/o knowing the environment you are in, etc. Best. hat Edited February 9, 20197 yr by hatuffej Report
