storage & Handling
Your panels will usually arrive on a flatbed
truck. Depending on the site, panels should be
off-loaded to a clean, flat area with sufficient
maneuvering room. (A fork-lift will speed the
off-load process.)
Panels do not come in any particular order. This
allows for minimized shipping costs by taking
full advantage of the space available on the
truck. It is advisable to sort the panels as you
off load them. This process will require room to
shift and stack the panels accordingly.
Sort and stack all of the panels by panel ID
number and move them as close to their final
location as possible. Place at least three
stickers a maximum of 4’ on center (o.c.) under
the panel stacks to ensure that the panels
remain flat. The stickers should be a minimum
of 3 ½” wide.
Inventory the panels as you off-load them.
If one is missing or damaged call PBS
immediately. We will work to correct the
problem as soon as possible.
Remember, you are working with a wood product
that may swell after prolonged exposure to
moisture. Keep all panels and accessories
protected from the elements prior to installation.
If splines swell, installation may be hampered.
