    Im just curious if anyone has had a bad experience with storing a new playfield long term? Are there certain "don't do's"? Is it safe storing them standing up? Is it bad to store multiple playfields (even wrapped in cardboard) on top of each other? Im just paranoid of warping over long periods of time and am looking for suggestions.

    Thanks!

    Resurrecting. Nobody really answered the guys question. I am sure it has been covered elsewhere, but does anybody have some good suggestions for long term PF storage?

    So with a google search, here is the answer it appears. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/playfield-storage

    Why not cut some rails and secure them to the underside of the playfield? That way the board is braced and then they can be hung on the wall. You can even add christmas lights for a fancy display.
    Or screw them to the ceiling joists in your basement.
    (not my pics, but you get the idea)

    Cool ideas, but I just have 2 new PF's and planning at least 1 swap next winter.
