then don’t, silly goose ! 
I’m curious about that, new wood I can see why, but since the wood has been out there (since 1946), is it at risk to warp now ? especially if they remain within the classic temperature / humidity range they’ve seen over the seasons ?
Really… I started a whole thesis on this and then realised I’m just me.
Wood, bend, stretch, unstretch structure…
ball court yours.
I think in this case being glue laminated timbers they are likely more susceptible to moisture and changes to their environment.
But in general as @ateliernab suggests regular barn timber or rough sawn stock would be somewhat OK if kept covered but with air movement - so stacked on sticker stock with nice air gaps and generally only covered over the top to shed water / snow and with the ends open to let air move through the pile.
For glue lams I would want to make sure that I did a better job, perhaps making sure that there is proper air change throughout that container, and that they don’t bake in there in the summer. The biggest concern would be huge temperature / humidity swings and any sort of gross absorption of water.
*I spent my formative years learning to craft timber frames, including dismantling, repairing and re-raising old barns in PA, MA, OH and VA. I’ve spent the last 30+ years working with timber, since 2005 mainly on the design side. Old, new, high grade, fresh sawn, radio frequency vacuum kiln dried, glue lam, etc.
I’ll just say this, wood is a wonderful and enigmatic material. It is soft and hard at the same time, you can chamfer an edge and soften it, hard and soft at the same time. You can drill, screw, plug and nail it… but you never tame it.
Wood is alive and moves with its environment.
Indeed. I’ve spent so much time trying to educate clients on how the timbers in their house will change over time…
I’m actually very glad that you’re discussing it here where I can see it. I have had massive worries about them moving and changing shape in any way.
Honestly, they were shamefully under a tarp in a field for a year after they came down. Mind you it was a well put together tarping situation with some air flow and even with all the wet winter and other wet seasons we had here, they didn’t seem to take any direct water, so in that I was happy.
I had intended to have the foundation done by now, but life and my schedule and my actual house all had massive need of my attention. The shipping container seemed like a much better solution since I was relegating them to another winter as a pile of potential.
Buwahahaha!! Welcome to the club. I’ve been in my house for just about 23 years and it’s still unfinished. I swore I wouldn’t be like other architects I know, but sure enough I moved into a construction site with a temporary C.O. From time to time making more progress, but never really done, and some parts need to be gutted and renovated.
Well, I don’t feel all alone now! 
FYI those are likely also made by Rilco, they had catalogs for houses, barns, churches and so on.

Also the frost depth is at least 48" in Hamilton ONT so the footings would be at least that deep unless you go with an insulated thick edge slab which would work well in this situation.
Local frost depth is 42", but I plan to drop 48" down.
