I've taken down my old sheds and had a spanking new one installed. I'm going to put shelves in it and I was going to use the timber from the old shed as batons. I've just run it through the planer thicknesses and discovered woodworm - I have no idea if it's active but the timber is probably fifty years old. I have 5 litres of Ronseal Multi-Purpose Wood Treatment and was going to coat all the old wood before using it.
My question is this: Is this likely to introduce woodworm into my new shed?
I'm not too worried about the strength of the timber as it seems pretty solid and I'll probably saw the edges off anyway. I don't have a log burner and wouldn't want to throw this all away and buy new, if I can help it! There's about 30m of 80x50mm and 10m of 175x20mm planks.
