The wooden slats have discolorations, is that okay?

Google "bark beetle wood." Lumber from logs damaged by bark beetles is indeed "discolored," but otherwise fully usable in terms of quality. Reliably distinguishing it from mold-affected wood in detailed photos on the internet, however, is beyond my crystal ball.

The gray is okay, that is weathering. The black is mold, even if he wants to see it differently.

Ok thanks, so there are no concerns if he gives me something from the back part? The slats were probably partly lying somewhere damp…. I just looked at Käferholz but it looks completely different, still thanks for the tip

Well, you just have to check yourself if there is any mold on it. You can recognize that. Storing it outside is not a problem, but you still don’t want to use moldy wood in the roof.

Pretty sure it’s not beetle wood, it really looks different. Those are stain spots, basically fungal infestation, which does not yet damage the wood in the "dot" form. It appears very quickly when freshly cut and sawn wood cannot dry. Happens when stored without battens between the layers, especially outdoors. Usually occurs on sapwood but can also spread from there to heartwood.
In visible areas, it can be removed, as at home, with mold and algae remover / washing soda / lime cleaner (alkaline, NOT ACIDIC!) and it will not come back as long as the wood is properly installed or stored. Structural restrictions are not yet given in this form, but I would not use it for living room paneling.

Perfect, thank you. As I said, these will be replaced tomorrow with the "good" ones, and if there are still individual spots, I will do it as you described. Many thanks to everyone!
