Hello Shawn,

I have a rolling wood rack that I lean and stack my plywood on before and after cutting to size. A majority of the time I will lay out a project on a sheet and cut it to rough size then finish cutting on my table saw. Then I will stand it up in the rack so it will get air and no moisture from the concrete floor.

Before I had my wood rack I would stack the plywood against the wall on 3 or 4 2x4's to keep them off of the floor. Here in Southeast Louisiana we some times get sweating or moisture on the Concrete floors especially in the winter time.

Here's a pic of my wood rack in the back ground.
