Hello!
I'm working on a deck project and would like to get a hold of 170x45 in 7-meter lengths as beams for a roof construction.
This seems almost impossible to buy at the hardware store? Does anyone have any tips on where one can turn to purchase such (or similar)? Preferably in the Skåne region..
If it's not possible to source, there is always the same dimension in non-pressure treated in long lengths (often F-jointed). Is there a way to treat such yourself to give a similar protection as pressure treatment and at the same time fade (to a grayish color) over the years?

You should check with a sales representative at a building supply store like Beijer.viola_palimo said:Hello!

If it really isn't possible, there is always the same dimension in non-pressure-treated, long lengths (often finger-jointed). Can these be treated in some way that provides similar protection as pressure treatment and also fades (to a grayish color) over the years?
Why does it have to be pressure-treated in the roof construction?
Hi Lars!
I checked with Beijer (down in my region), among others, but they say they don't have longer lengths than 5.40. He also checked with "his supplier," but they said the same thing.
The construction is partially "open," like a form of pergola, and will be exposed to weather and wind. Hence the choice of treated wood. Everything else in the construction (the back wall in the form of a "fence" against the neighbor) is also treated, partly for uniformity/aesthetics.

Check with varms gunnarstorp trähandel. Wramstra.se
They can probably fix it.

Thanks for the tip!
Checked with them but they had (like everyone else) 5.40 as their maximum length for printed timber.
