Proper Lumber Storage
To All Our Valued Customers, Over the past few years, the Covid 19 Pandemic has forced us to adapt and change the way we do things on a day-to-day basis. Florida Lumber is no exception. To make sure that we remain strong and competitive in the market for the years to come, Florida Lumber has had to adjust and change our vision for the future. In the last 2 years, we have stopped selling Sheetrock and drywall products, roofing felt and roofing materials, and have even closed on Saturdays.
Over the last few months, we have been transitioning our way out of the door supply business so on August 31, 2022, our door shop will stop assembling doors. We will continue liquidating our doors from inventory until we are out of material.
Some customers have asked if we are closing or even moving locations. To set the story straight, we are not closing or selling the business and we are not moving. These changes are all part of our new vision and path to continue serving South Florida and increasing our footprint in the construction supply industry.
Our focus is going to be on Lumber, Construction Materials, Rebar Fabrication and Rebar Accessories. As we have liquidated some of the items that we don’t sell anymore we have created more space to buy a larger volume of our core items and pass on the savings to our customers.
In the next year you will start seeing changes that will help improve our ability to serve you, our customers. We appreciate your business and your patience as Florida Lumber’s new vision becomes reality.
A Todos Nuestros Valiosos Clientes En los ultimos anos, la pandemia de el Virus (Covid 19) nos ha forzado a adaptarnos y cambiar la forma de hacer cosas en el dia a dia. Florida Lumber no ha sido una excepcion.
Para asegurarnos de mantenernos fuertes y competitivos en el mercado en los anos venideros, Florida Lumber ha tenido que ajustar y cambiar nuestra vision para el futuro. En los dos ultimos anos hemos dejado de vender los productos de yeso (sheetrock), paneles de yeso (drywall), tela asfaltica (roofing felt), materiales de techo y cerramos los Sabados. En los ultimos meses, hemos estado en transicion para salir del negocio de suministro de puertas, en Agosto 31, del 2022 nuestra tienda de puertas dejara de construir y/o cortar puertas. Vamos a continuar liquidando nuestro inventario de puertas haste que terminemos todo el material. Algunos de nuestros clientes han preguntado si estamos cerrando o si nos estamos moviendo a otra localidad. La verdad es que no estamos cerrando, no estamos vendiendo y no estamos cambiando de localidad. Estos cambios son todos parte de nuestra nueva vision y camino a continuar sirviendo al estado sur de la Florida y incrementar nuestras huellas en la industria de suministros de construccion.

Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, a seasoned contractor or just someone passionate about home improvement and woodworking projects, proper lumber storage will help you spruce up your work area on a Saturday morning! Ensuring your top-quality wood stays in prime condition gives you more than lumber — it promises rewards like a brighter glazed varnish. Proper lumber storage preserves the perfect, durable and long-lasting finish you love about wooden products.
The Importance of Lumber Storage
Storing lumber correctly is about more than just organization — it helps you protect your lumber's quality. Safely stacked, stored wood may be more resilient against warping, splitting or developing mold. Furthermore, we at Florida Lumber ensure that every piece of wood we sell is high quality. We care about protecting high-grade wood from storage-related damage. So, how can you preserve the quality of your wood in storage?
Lumber Storage Ideas
Depending on how you store your lumber, you can follow these tips:
Outdoor Lumber Storage:
- Store the wood in lumber storage racks at an elevated level off the ground.
- Cover the wood with a tarp to protect it from UV rays and rain.
- Ensure there is ventilation to prevent mold.
Indoor Lumber Storage:
- Store lumber indoors in a cool, dry place.
- Keep wood neatly organized to ward off warping.
- Stack lumber flat with sufficient spacing.
Horizontal Storage:
- Lay lumber on a cinder block and seasoned wood base.
- Use stickers between layers for better airflow.
- Shield the wood by using a tarp with even pressure.
Vertical Storage:
- Elevate the lumber on a base and support both ends.
- Consider using cured wood for longevity.
- Use vertical storage for indoor spaces.
