Using wet wood

[mark1a]

I've been using pallet wood for building my small bike shed. I need to take apart a few more to make another wall, but they are wet after a downpour. Would I be ok to use them or would I better off waiting till they had few days to dry off? I am gluing and screwing them to make the frame thicker and the wood longer pieces. Cheers

you dont use glue it needs to shrink and expand
if its exposed to the weather it needs to overlap to shed the water

I find the timber less likely to split and break when damp.So dismantle now and dry a little before assemble, but remember it will expand when wet.
