B. If ground storage is needed, the
deck bundles must be stored off the
ground, with one end elevated to
provide drainage. Bundles must be
protected against condensation
with a ventilated waterproof covering.
Bundles must be stacked so
there is no danger of tipping,

damage. Bundles must be periodically
checked for tightness and
retightened as necessary (so wind
cannot loosen sheets) to prevent
damage caused by the wind.

bundles to be placed on unbolted
frames or on unattached and
