My small collection of MDF boards and hardwood don't have
storage because our shed is 80-percent full. Today, a bad storm
passes thru our neighborhood and destroys many of my MDF
boards, which were temporarily covered with a silver tarp.

The woods were relocated far away from the protection of
the house when a couple of black widows were found on the
boards. I have a large roll of thin, clear plastic wrap that I will
use to wrap the ones I salvage. What is common way to protect
our wood stocks from rain?


That will only cause the destruction of your remaining stock. Plastic traps
moisture. You won't even need a rain storm to create water inside the
plastic wrap. In answer to your question - the common way is inside storage
of some sort. Even a semi-open shed that keeps the rain/snow off is better
than nothing as long as the wood is stickered. The bottom line though is
that you can't let the water get to the wood. If your wife's fear of
spiders and such is the order of the day, then you either need to build
another shed for woodworking or give up the hobby.
