I was thinking about putting them in the garage attic but I am unsure if the heat would warp or crack them up there? WHO MADE THIS MESS ALL OVER MY FLOOR THE MUDTRACKER WAS HERE HE HE HE

I would be more concerned about making sure they are clean and free of fat and mold more so then if they will warp in the heat. I have rat, mink,coon, fox and coyote boards stored that way.
