Transporting and Storing Vinyl Siding

If you are transporting vinyl siding to a job site, make certain
to keep cartons flat and supported along their entire length.

At the job site, take the following precautions when storing
panels:

• Store on a flat surface and support the entire

length of the carton.

• Keep cartons dry.

• Store away from areas where falling objects or other

construction activity may cause damage.

• Do not store in any location where temperatures may

exceed 130° F (e.g., on black top pavement during
unusually hot weather or under dark tarps or plastic
wraps without air circulation).
