I bought this house last summer and there was a picket fence panel lying on
the ground for over two years. How do you judge its reliability (mildew, rot,
other biohazards) and how it can be restored? I want to build a dog pen in my
garage with it.

I had some treated 4x4 posts that had grown black mold and I cleaned it with
chlorine bleach, but I am afraid to bring it indoors to the garage.

Probably best not to use any pressure treated wood around animals. The
old stuff contains goodies like arsenic but even new stuff has things
like copper. Unlikely dogs would ingest toxic quantities but why take
chances. Picket fence may not be treated but could be chancy.
