Yup. I had a shock last year. One of my supers had hung itself

Some just stack them with newspaper between each and cover board on top.
Why the newspaper between each super?

No need for clingfilm Kaz, although Veg on here wraps the whole super in the indusrtial cling film used to pack pallets before stacking them in the garage -Just stack them all up - piece of plywood top and bottom and cinch the lot up with a hive strap, they won't get mouldy and having them wet not dry (by letting the bees clean them up for you) it's less likely the wax moth will have a go at them. It's best to store them in a coldish place - i have an old covered dog run which is graet - you could just stack the whole lot outdoors on a hive stand with a hive roof on top to keep the rain off - perfect
Bit confused JBM. When you say wet, do you mean as out of the spinner or do you consider them still wet after the bees have cleaned them up?
thinking about trying to store the frames wet in a some old freezers this year, but am worried about mould.
alternatively, I might build a large 'smoker' for placing large mounts of dry frames in and smoking the lot in one go..
