Seriously.
I've been screwing decking boards for a few hours today, and during a short break, I looked up slightly and suddenly noticed. A damn stamp informing me that the crooked, knotty board was 4.21 meters long before I sawed it and screwed it onto the deck. This stamp is now fully visible right in the middle of the decking floor. I know exactly how it happened, I turned them all right to remove the stamps when I started, but turned this one back when I discovered a resin run the size of Dalälven.
Is it us consumers who have taken to the streets on May Day, demanding that the planers stamp the lengths on every plank? Or is it the union for the skilled reserve responsible for writing measurement notes at the lumberyard that's to blame? I've had enough of these stamps. I wonder if they'll get mad if you cut them off before asking them to measure the bundle at the lumberyard?

Do you mean that the stamp is on the top side of the board??? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Mine are stamped on the end grain.
There is a large stamp, the entire width of the board, 10-12 cm in on the board. Deck planed, pressure treated.

10-12 cm is about how much you cut off to avoid the dry end wood that otherwise causes issues by being a bit narrower than the rest of the plank 8)
But I agree - incredibly strange way to stamp.
And also - incredibly strange headline if you're not so quick-witted "Tsämpelj-vel". I didn't understand anything and therefore had to open it

But that's really a minor problem... If you're doing it seriously, you cut off between 5 and 10 cm at the end grain, right?Alfons_Helikopter said:There is a big stamp, the entire width of the board, 10-12 cm in on the board. Deck planed, pressure-treated.
