Hello!
I can start by saying that I'm a novice when it comes to building and construction. A wood shed is my flagship project so far.
Anyway, we're planning to build a small enclosed patio with a polycarbonate roof, about 2.5 x 4 meters, where 2 sides will be the existing house facade.
My father has saved some beams from a dismantled roof he had over a patio section.
My plan was to use some of this wood as the dimensions should work well for our planned patio.
Unfortunately, the thick support beam is somewhat moisture-damaged. Nothing has gone all the way through. It might be a no-go for such wood, but I thought it was worth asking someone more knowledgeable than me before I discard it.

Thank you, that's enough advice for me 👍F fribygg said:
