Are there studs / floorboards 34x160 mm or similar?
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.
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?

Since it concerns a barn, I would buy pressure-treated decking with a thickness of 34 mm. You can easily cut this yourself with a table saw or circular saw so that it fits.
Beijer also has 34 mm construction battens up to 145 mm in width.

Looking at the prices, it seems that decking wood is the most cost-effective option.Pjosk75 said:
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.
You can buy them now and screw the floor in tonight if you want and have the energyS Superrobban said:Looking at the prices, it seems decking timber is the most cost-effective.
