Need to replace the floorboards in an older barn built in 1948.

Most of it is concrete floor, but then there's a small part that is a wood shed with a wooden floor.

There are 34mm thick floorboards in varying widths, 150-180 mm.

Now I need to replace some, as it seems wet wood was on the floor and some boards have broken.

But I can't find any studs/boards that are 34 mm thick, except for pressure-treated decking.

Since it's indoors, pressure-treated isn't needed, and 45 mm thick would create unnecessary level differences, I think.

The beams underneath are spaced at c/c 800 mm.
 
It's probably easier to talk to a smaller sawmill. What you need is logs/lumber that are just split to the appropriate thickness. Then you can trim as desired for width.
 
Both psh.se and valbo trä sell 34mm flooring timber.
 
I checked with the hardware stores in Åkersberga, and they couldn't get this dimension.

I'd gladly accept a few more tips on where it can be found in Northern Stockholm?

XL bygg in Åkersberga has 34*145 studs in stock

Since it's a barn, I would buy impregnated decking with a thickness of 34 mm. You can easily split this yourself with a table saw or circular saw to fit.

Beijer also has 34 mm construction beams up to 145 mm in width.

Looking at the prices, it seems that decking wood is the most cost-effective option.

And it should work well as a floor in a wood shed; the question is how long I should let them dry before screwing them down?

I plan to lay them edge to edge so it matches the rest of the floor; it's only 1/3 of the floor area that is bad.

The length needs to be 2.93 m on each plank, so I guess I should buy 3.20 m lengths and cut them down.

I was thinking of laying them edge to edge so it matches the rest of the floor; it's just 1/3 of the floor area that's bad.

The length needs to be 2.93 cm for each plank, so I guess I should buy 3.20 cm lengths and cut them down.
You can buy them now and screw the floor in tonight if you want and have the energy;)
