Default Storing Construction Lumber

I picked up about 40 2x4's on sale today. The intent is to use them to
finish my basement at some point in the future. They were too good of a
deal to pass up, but I won't finishing my basement for some time to come.

So I intend to just stack them and store them in the basement. Is there
anything special I should do like set them on cleats or strap the stack to
prevent warping? The basement is clean, dry and heated / cooled.

Thanks! J.A.


After reading here, I think I'll stack it in a neat pile on some shorter
scraps of wood, and bind it with ratchet-straps at the ends and in the
middle. Hopefully warpage will be minimal.
