Having just found my old Wickes electric planer after having (accidentally) left it in the rain for a few weeks and it looks a bit dubious but having given it a shake and even the plug was waterlogged - its now living in the airing cupboard for a while before I try it - I might need to buy a...

Today I have had delivered 16 of 3600x100x22 treated timber gravel boards and in due course each will be cut into 3 sections That will be in a month or so - they will be stored out in the weather should I store them flat or on their side to stop them going all wibbly wobbly? Whats the opinion?

Some years ago when some double glazing was fitted I had internal wooden window boards fitted, a semi hardwood not a cedar or skirting board type of timber which then had a coat or two (I suspect) of whatever varnish was available maybe yacht varnish but now most of its long gone/worn away.
