I have a memory of seeing something like that segment as well.
I believe it was heat-treated wood. I've never heard of it being used that way before.
But during the Stone Age and a little later, people apparently used to burn the ends of their posts for house construction. Then they could stand directly in the ground and last a long time.
The modern heat treatment was apparently not quite as intense, so the wood only darkens slightly if I understood correctly. Then the question is whether light heating helps or if it has to be charcoal.

Got a price on Bankirai from Interwood in Gothenburg:
21x145 55 kr/m incl. VAT, to be placed on joist c/c 500
28x145 74 kr/m incl. VAT, to be placed on joist c/c 600
Approximately 7 m/sqm is needed.
There are special screws that drill simultaneously. But it is recommended to pre-drill with a 3 mm drill.
Is it cheaper anywhere else in the country?

Has something they call Q- and S-decking. Supposed to withstand a bit better according to the advertisement. Quite hard, but through grooves on the side of the planks and plastic clips, it can be fastened completely invisibly. And then you attach via the plastic clips, so you avoid screwing into the planks themselves.
Costs 38kr/m at K-Rauta. Clips cost 1.50kr each. Takes 16 clips/m^2.
However, the price per meter was significantly cheaper at the local hardware store (retailers are listed on the site). Freight is added, but it was still much cheaper than K-Rauta.

I have to correct myself here. The construction company got back to me with bad news today. Apparently, this company insists on sending the material with their own freight forwarder. And they seem to have the worst transport agreement in the world, because it would cost 1000 SEK to ship 70m of wood!!Halling said:
Looks like I'll have to hitch the trailer to the car and drive to the nearest K-Rauta instead...
