Maybe two times.

Luckly I had removed the mount, scope and associated gear as probably rats would have damaged them as well.
I had hoped to move the unit to the new place but it is just too depressing.
So its an I'll wind that blows no good I am thinking maybe a fibre (inedible) glass dome.
Or maybe I should give away imaging.

No! Don't give away imaging. Why not just remove all the lining - i am assuming it is a metal garden shed. There are plenty of non-edible panels available if you must have lining.
When i moved into my place here at Lake Mac i found the big shed had been attacked in the past by termites ( the owner had it locked when i did my inspection so i did not see it).
The idiot had built a workbench and cupboards out of nice juicy untreated pine - how could the critters resist? They had eaten their way through it all but luckily the shed was hardwood framed and they don't like that. There was a bit of scaring on the frame but the structure was sound. Cladding was hardiplank and they won't eat that either. I ripped out all the old untreated pine and everything has been fine since then ( five years now). So save it if you can, its cheaper than the alternatives.
