Stack siding off the ground and under cover. If the bark is to be stored over damp ground or concrete, place a moisture barrier under the siding. Stored siding should be 4 to 6 inches above the ground with air circulating freely around and throughout the stack. The bark should be protected with a waterproof covering elevated in the center so that water does not pool on the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- end Twin Creeks Log Home Supply copy --\u003e","brand":"Twin Creeks Log Home Supply","offers":[{"title":"18\" \/ Standard (5\/8\"-15\/16\" Thickness)","offer_id":40715911626811,"sku":"PBS18ST","price":20.13,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0299\/8488\/2747\/products\/poplar-bark-siding-stacked-peices-profile-tclhs.jpg?v=1661549576","url":"https:\/\/www.twincreeksloghomes.com\/en-ca\/products\/poplar-bark-siding","provider":"Twin Creeks Log Home Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
