Special order printed lumber?

[cpalm]

I would need pressure-treated tongue-and-groove boards in rough dimensions and "floor quality" for a deck renovation.
Preferably "brown impregnated" to complicate things.

Anyone with experience in custom ordering pressure-treated lumber?
Tips on suitable suppliers?
I guess it's pointless to ask Byggmax?

I think all small sawmills with their own impregnation should be able to solve it if you order in advance.

If you lived near Norrbotten, there's Pite Saw and Planing.

You should check the Yellow Pages or call around to sawmills near you.

Not Norrbotten unfortunately, Mälardalen.
But is it common for smaller sawmills to also impregnate? If it had been untreated, I wouldn't have thought so much about it.

 

[cpalm]

I have just started to do a bit of research into this.

As I suspected, the small sawmills usually do not deal with pressure treatment (none around here anyway), but there are certain players who are relevant.
Among these, however, I have not found anyone who is eager to take a special order, although there were some who had a few odd items in stock.

So the question remains if anyone has any tips.

Why is impregnation so important? Is the decking placed very close to damp ground?

Is the dimension you want available in untreated?
I think that if it's at least one package you need, they should be able to send it into the impregnation chamber.

It's not decking, but more of a traditional tongue and groove plank floor. It is both underbuilt and has a roof, so it is not particularly exposed, just rain and not least snow that blows under the roof. But I assume that since it's a tongue and groove floor of a heavier dimension, it doesn't have the same ability to dry out as decking (?)

The existing floor is completely rotten. My conclusion is that pressure-treated wood would give a significantly longer lifespan and thus better value for money. After all, it will cost a pretty penny to replace it.

Don't think there's much difference in lifespan if you maintain the wood.

Yeah, you would think so, but it doesn't seem to be that easy.
It's not just the right dimension I want, but also a sorting of "floor quality" and not just random construction timber.

 

[nino]

Yes, one might think so, but it doesn't seem to be that simple.
It's not just the right dimension; I also want a grading of "floor quality" and not just random construction timber.

How much are we talking about then?

 

[cpalm]

Don't think there's much difference in lifespan if you maintain the timber.

What are you basing that on?
On the contrary, I think most of what you read indicates that you can expect very large differences in lifespan.

 

[Jonatan79]

Facts I've read and because of all the svennebananaltaner that become ugly and need to be replaced are pressure-treated. Read more yourself about tests and advantages of pressure-treated, I wouldn't have bought it if there was a significant price difference.

It's about 15 m².

Check with PO Hiller, fairly sure that they delivered large-dimension treated wood for about ten stone coffers that were built in our area last summer.

 

[nino]

It is about 15 m².

It might be a bit too little to get someone to bother with, I would think.
That is, it's about 100lpm or 20 pieces.
If you get someone to do it, it will probably be very expensive, unfortunately, unless what you're looking for exists as a regular item then.
