My wood shop is a room inside of a metal building which is also my garage. Above the ceiling of the shop and the inside of the roof I have approximately two vertical feet of storage space. The walls were built stout enough for a good load. My question is can lumber be stored in this space? The summer temperature in this space often gets above 120 degree F. I have searched around and have found reasons not to store green or partially dried lumber but I cannot find a reason not to store dried lumber. Over the years I have scrounged many hundreds of feet of great lumber and would be very disappointed to 15 years from now pull a 6/4, 22" x 16' tiger maple board only to find that it has been trashed.
Thoughts?
Thank you
