Delivery
Deliver materials to the site in dry and undamaged condition. Provide

from the site. Remove moisture from wet materials not otherwise affected,
restack and protect from further moisture exposure.
1.5.2
Storage
Stack materials stored on site on platforms or pallets, and cover with
tarpaulins or other weathertight covering which prevents trapping of water

may have accumulated during transit or storage will drain off. Do not
store panels in contact with materials that might cause staining. Storage
accommodations for metal wall panels shall provide good air circulation and
protection from surface staining. Secure coverings and stored items to
protect from wind displacement.

warranty against cracking, peeling, or delamination of the color finish and
corrosion of the base metal, and 10 year warranty against the corrosion of
