I'd take the scalp, arm and shoulder injuries over bear mace spritz.

This was taken at a "orange-colored national home improvement store" this weekend. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure having 5-600 LBS of lumber bulging out of a bundle and secured by only thin plastic straps is cause for concern, especially if it's 15 feet high on a shelf above customers, no? fuckingtest fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Oct 3, 2016 |

fuckingtest posted:This was taken at a "orange-colored national home improvement store" this weekend. I've done a lot of work on job sites that use those green plastic bands, and while I've never seen them used on anything bigger than a pallet of 2x6 studs (they use black metal ones for the bigger poo poo), they're surprisingly strong. They don't often snap unless you're jostling the load around a bunch. That being said, I would have put that load on the floor and not the top. It definitely looks spooky.

This is the point where you email that pic to corporate head office and tell them there's a lawsuit waiting to happen and maybe they should do something about it. The muppet who put that on the shelf may not care, their supervisor might not either, but I reckon the head-office lawyers/execs will rain all kinds of poo poo on the store manager to fix it.

It's probably not going to do anything by itself but if something upsets it and if one of the bands snaps, it's much more likely to explode than a neatly stacked pile where gravity is actually working towards keeping it all together. tl;rd: the bottom bundle would be more or less stable even without the bands, the upper one wouldn't.

Definitely not applicable here but stuff that's bundled all messy-like stays good for much longer than stuff that's stacked neatly because you get a lot more air circulation. This is especially true for metal stored outside because of loving capillary action.

Rated break strength on that strapping is 500-800 lbs depending on thickness, it's fine. E: lol nope extrapolating from the 21x10 stack on the lower rack, 210 dry 8' 2x4s ~2300lb. Why would they even accept delivery of that, safety aside they're gonna have to pay somebody to stack it right as soon as it's open. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 3, 2016 |

The boards fall one at a time so you can just move the cart into position but sometimes cherries fall down but you want those too

I band down shipments at work with those green straps. They are pretty strong, I accidentally tightened one down too much one time when I had a sheet of half inch plywood over the top of the box, and the strap cut almost all the way through the wood. Still though, I wouldn't trust them with my safety like that.

Much better than some securing methods but I wouldn't trust it there. The metal bands can twist/tear and then it's all (literally) downhill from there. Efb

This is especially true for metal stored outside because of loving capillary action. Until the bands break and the load loses all value since it killed some dude. The bands are tough enough to hold it but yeah any movement of the load can snap one.
