Construction timber C30/35?

[kniv]

Looking for untreated construction timber in a higher class than C24.
The local dealers don't seem to have it as their sawmills/suppliers don't carry it in their range, and at Hornbach/Bauhaus, they barely seemed to understand what strength class is. It seems you don't need to know much about what you sell when you work there...

Anyone have any tips on places that might have it (relevant in the Stockholm area).

Have you checked with Optimera or Beijer?

I previously bought K-virke c35 at Ekesiöö, they are now Beijer Bromma.

Good tips! I'll try reaching out to them.

Higher grade than c24 is rarely stocked by lumber merchants.

Svenskt Trä writes a bit about it:

Swedish Wood writes a little about it:

Absolutely, it's not stocked, but it doesn't even seem like they can order it from the sawmills/suppliers...

You'll have to turn to the large timber suppliers...

You should turn to the big lumber suppliers..

Okay, do you know who they are, by name?

Woody also lists C35 on the website, where you have e.g. Orminge trä.

Woody also lists C35 on the website, there you have, for example, Orminge trä.

Yes, I have seen that. But the local Woody only has Sandåsa as a supplier and they don't have higher than C24 - even though it's listed on Woody's website... I have emailed a few more and those you recommend, so we'll see if I get a response.

Been really bad with responses, a few dealers replied that they would take it up with their supplier and then get back to me. But it went silent... And optimera called and informed that they would provide a cost estimate within 1-2 days. But then it went silent there as well and no cost estimate came. So even if there are some sawmills that have it, it seems like the economics aren't there unless you need enormously large quantities...

Hi, how did it go for you? Looking for the same thing.

Nothing came of it, as I wrote in the previous post, there were some dealers who were going to look at it, but then nothing more came of it. My guess is that it would be too expensive for the relatively small quantity.
