    Default stacking floorboards

    hi all,just bought 100m3 of blackbutt and need to stack it in the house.The boards are loose and i know they need to be off the ground but how high can i stack them and should i put something heavy on top to stop any boards from cupping or twisting,thanks.Also i live in mindarie,perth and wondered if anyone had someone they would recommend to lay the floor for us or perhaps more importantly who to avoid!,thanks again

    I'll assume you dont know about stacking flooring, you have to stack it so every layer has a gap between it for air flow. Use the short lengths for this by laying them perpendicular to the length of the stack & say at every metre or so. Blackbutt is a fairly unstable timber so make sure it gets some time to aclimatise, & to be sure use a moisture meter to check the content (from 10 - 15%) Have a look at this site
    http://www.timber.net.au/bulletin.htm
    & in particular this article to get a broad picture of the subject in general

    Blackbutt is a fairly unstable timber
    G'day.
    Not if it is dried and machined correctly in the first place.
    Hooroo.

    Whilst we are on blackbutt, I've noticed that there seems to be a glut of it on the market at the moment. Any reason why Trev?

    Stand my ground and refuse to discount.
    Sure there are merchants that will buy cheap.
    But there are also merchants that know quality costs.

    Think about it.
    Hooroo.
