I'm in the process of building a deck in the backyard of our small townhouse and have more or less finished laying the floor now. What's left is 13cm between the second to last row of planks and the house wall. The planks I've laid are 95mm wide so it wouldn't work well to use these. I would like to have a plank that is 130x22 and I would need 8 linear meters of this.
Of course, it should be impregnated wood so you don't have to lay a new floor every weekend.
Where can I find this? I live in the northern suburbs (north of Stockholm) so any tips around there if you know, otherwise larger company chains that are "everywhere". Byggmax where I bought all the materials doesn't have such wide ones in 22mm thickness. Does K-Rauta have a larger range?
EDIT: I just found K-Rauta's flyer on their website and it didn't seem like they had more than Byggmax, almost less. But maybe they don't show everything they have. There were only 95x22 and 120x28.

I experienced something similar this spring. If you trim off a cm from the last 7 (?) boards, it should even out. Round off the top side with a hand router. Use a radius router bit with a radius of about 4 mm. Available at C.O.
Check with paper and pen if it really is 7 boards that need to be trimmed.
The method works, and it won't be noticeable.
My problem this spring was that I had about 15 pieces of 11m lengths that needed to be wedge-cut for it to even out. 0 mm on one side, and 10 mm on the other. It took a whole day.
A good method is to screw in the board first, then trim with a circular saw. Then hand rout, and then the next board.

Oh, you meant that the last two should be 7cm instead of one being 9.5cm and the other 5cm. I understood it as you wanting me to remove the 6 most recently laid plank rows of 7.5m and cut 1cm from each to get (140+60)/2, which is about 2*95mm. But now I get what you meant.
Yes, cutting 2cm from the row I'm on now means it will be 7cm wide, and then I'll have 6-7cm left, which will become a row that I do the same thing with. That's probably how it will be unless I find a 140*22 that would suit a lazy IT person like me.

fun suggestions for the next porch construction?
I laid from the inside out... then cut the floor joists once I knew exactly where I would end up
a little waste of about half a meter per floor joist, but that was partly because I also reduced the width of the porch since it was a bit too big against the stairs
a little more on topic
buy a 45x145, cut away a piece and then plane the rest off?
