Proper care in storing and handling Diversified Industries panels is essential. Panels not being immediately installed MUST be kept dry. Preferably, panels and trim should be stored in an indoor area. If indoor storage is not available, extreme caution should be taken in order to prevent moisture penetration of the stack(s) by condensation, rain or snowfall. Whether storing indoors or outdoors, the panel stack(s) should always be stored off the ground on wooden blocks, with one end slightly elevated. The banding around them should also be cut. A waterproof paper or a canvas tarp should be placed over the stack(s), but in no way should it be tightly secured to the ground, in order to allow proper airflow to occur. Plastic tarps should NEVER be used. The plastic will only create and hold in condensation.

Metal panels have sharp edges; for that reason protective clothing and gloves should be worn. To prevent eye injury safety glasses must be worn when cutting or drilling steel panels. Use extreme care when walking on the roof panels. Steel panels can become slippery when wet. You should not work on the steel panels when they are wet or when weather conditions are not appropriate for safe installation.

Failure to comply with the above procedures relieves Diversified Industries of any resultant damage to or deterioration of Diversified Industries panels and voids all warranties. There is no implied warranty of merchant ability or fitness for purpose.
