I have a lot of interior paneling that I had originally planned to put up at the end of the summer. Now the work has been delayed (surprise) and the paneling has been left lying around.

What does the collective expertise say—can the paneling remain like this for a few months (if I also cover it with a tarp) or should it be unpacked and laid out more openly?
 
  • Plastic-wrapped wooden panels stacked outside on pallets near a roadside; grass and gravel surrounding the area in a forested setting.
The correct thing is to store it indoors in an indoor climate.

Indoor panels should be stored dry, and it's not dry outside...
 
Sell it.

Then buy a new panel when you have time to install it, the current panel is at risk of being damaged by moisture even if you cover it with a tarp or something else.
 
It's tongue and groove so it doesn't really matter much if it dries apart a bit after installation. But I will probably have to move it under a roof, even though I had hoped to find a way to avoid it. 😅
