- Coil and sheet must be kept dry to avoid storage corrosion, which is both unsightly and can result in reduced corrosion protection at affected points.
- Storage should preferably be indoors in clean, dry areas.
- If coils or sheet stacks cannot be kept indoors:
- Erect a simple scaffolding and cover with a waterproof material. Leave space between the cover and the coil/sheet stack to allow air to circulate.
- Store off the ground and on an angle, so any water which penetrates the cover can drain away quickly.
- Check the storage site regularly for water penetration.
