    Can I store air-dried cypress on end?

    I have about a dozen cypress boards 10-12 feet long and 5/4 x 10. I got it right after it was cut and they've been stacked and stickered for over 2 years on a rack I built against one wall in my garage. They're in good shape and the MC is too low for my cheap meter to read but this is Florida so it's not going to be like KD.

    I have no immediate plans for the lumber but I really need that space. Can I store them on end and expect them to stay as flat as they are now? (Yes, I can get a 12-foot board vertical in my garage.)

    I would think if it was kept as vertical as possible and to strap them together and to the wall to prevent falling over, maybe to put something under the end to keep off the concrete to prevent wicking incase of water intrusion into the area and insects, cause it is FLA.

    I store a lot of lumber on end with no issues.
