My shed from salvaged wood rotted quick, now I'm split on sustainable builds.
I built a garden shed last year using old fence posts and pallets to be eco-friendly. Some folks say reclaimed wood is the best way to go because it cuts down on waste and saves trees. For instance, using barn wood for a table can give it a cool, rustic look without hurting forests. But others argue that new wood from well-managed forests is actually better for long-term projects. Like, pressure-treated pine from a certified farm might last decades and support sustainable logging. I'm stuck because my shed is already falling apart, but I hate the idea of buying new wood that harms the planet. What do you all think? Should we always use salvaged stuff, or is new sustainable wood okay for certain builds?
