Of course, this will take up a huge amount of real estate, so if space is a premium in your garage, then you\u2019re probably better off using one of the other methods.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the size of a standard 4\u2019 x 8\u2019 plywood sheet. A stack of these will take up 32 square feet of your garage, and as most people have limited garage storage space, this would be a deal breaker for many average-sized garages.<\/p>\n<p>To store your plywood using this method, the first thing you\u2019ll want to do is set aside a 4\u2019 x 8\u2019 area (or smaller if you&#8217;re storing smaller-sized sheets) in your garage for this purpose. Then, use some spare wood shims that are at least as long as the sheets are laid on the ground for the purpose of keeping your plywood off the ground. Space your shims about 2 feet apart to provide enough support that the ply won\u2019t bend.<\/p>\n<p>Even inside a garage, the floor can still pool moisture, so you don\u2019t want to skip this step.<\/p>\n<p>Then, simply stack your plywood by laying them flat on top of the shims.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Leaned_Vertically\"><\/span><strong>Method 2: Leaned Vertically<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This next method makes a solid choice when space is at a premium inside your garage. Simply lean your sheets of plywood up against one of the walls in your garage. This will only work for short-term storage, however.<\/p>\n<p>The issue with this method is that it can lead to the sheets warping over time as they tend to bow inwards when you lean them up in this manner. There are a few workarounds to get around this issue though.<\/p>\n<p>One thing you can do is secure several ratchet straps around your stack of plywood. Use multiple ratchet straps both vertically and horizontally in order to keep the plywood properly secured. If you don\u2019t have ratchet straps, then bungee cords or even rope can work well for this.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Overhead_Rack\"><\/span><strong>Method 3: Overhead Rack<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is probably the best method for long-term plywood storage when space is at a premium. You will need to shell out some dough for an overhead storage rack though, so it\u2019s not as cheap as the previous two methods.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FLEXIMOUNTS-Overhead-Adjustable-Capacity-Dropdown\/dp\/B08C4ZW15Y?th=1&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=homeimprovementscout-20&amp;linkId=ef1e525004af6e4f54676765a86b6c83&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B08C4ZW15Y&amp;Format=_SL800_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=homeimprovementscout-20&amp;language=en_US\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=homeimprovementscout-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;l=li3&amp;o=1&amp;a=B08C4ZW15Y\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAn overhead rack large enough to handle 4-foot x 8-foot plywood sheets can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FLEXIMOUNTS-Overhead-Adjustable-Capacity-Dropdown\/dp\/B08C4ZW15Y?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=homeimprovementscout-20&amp;linkId=e3a1022051226459027dc4c4b71e4257&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had for about $100<\/a>, so this option is not that costly.
