Yep, exactly. Set them up on some wood blocks so the bottom boards
are dead flat. It's probably not necessary to sticker them if they're
already dry and the basement is conditioned. Strapping them isn't a
bad idea - ratchet tie-downs would be nice, or you could weight down
the top with concrete block.
