Rain-soaked timber.

[Emssal]

Hello,

I have some timber lying outside, it's been there in rain and bad weather since September. Pure laziness and lack of indoor space have caused it to remain there. Now I'm wondering if this can still be used, or has the moisture penetrated the timber completely? Is it possible to get it dry again?

Of course, the timber can be dried. However, there is a high risk that it becomes warped and crooked as it dries. You could try stacking it dry with a substantial weight on top of the entire length of the timber; perhaps it won't warp then?

Make sure to place spacers in between so the air can reach it to dry.

Should be pretty moldy by now, right?
