Where do you keep your extra panels stored from when your shop was built?

I have about 5 or 6 extra panels from when they buildt my shop. I think its just where they cut out the openings for the doors, so they aren't even a full 18ft in length. I thought about ordering an extra 10 full length pbr panels in case a wall or something gets damaged or they change the color etc. These things are in the way and seem to be too heavy to just lift up and lean against a wall or something. Where do you store yours?

I have about 6 sheets just sitting on cribbing on the ground. Been there..mmm couple years. You're right, they're just there in the way. I mow around them. I think that I'm going to do with mine is build a water catch station, or stations and place them around the property. Other option is to build a chicken coop...or other project that can use them. Otherwise, the option is to find a spot and keep storing them.

I slid mine into the pockets of the trusses. Makes a nice additional storage area. It is so nice that I decided to get a few more and add them up there too. Now plenty of additional storage area. Of course, that assumes you have a framed truss roof system.

My spares/cutoffs turned into a matching outside compressor shed. A couple years later leftovers/cutoffs from a metal roof install on the house turned into a chicken coop. Though I still have some small bits from both jobs leaning against the wall outside with some other odds and ends awaiting their turn at usefulness.

I ordered two extra roof panels in case any got wrecked during the installation process. The very first panel I installed blew off the roof before I started screwing it down, but luckily it survived the sixteen plus foot fall to the ground.

I have my two extra panels hung on one of the walls with some brackets made from leftover lumber. They are snap lock type with screw holes along one edge so I could just screw them to the wall. I will probably put them up in the rafters when I install my lighting.
