Default Wood preserative

I have a load of wood, previously used in indoor structures, that I am
thinking of recycling into a shed.

What's the best thing to treat it with? Prefereably something resistant to
being set fire to.

Oh, and I read that creosote has been outlawed?

TIA.

It has but you can buy creosote substitute, which is still creosote but
without the nasties that were in the original stuff.

Not good if you are fearful of it being set fire to as it's highly
flammable.

Not outlawed, just restricted in various ways.
