Hello!
I have a nagging feeling that I have missed something completely obvious here, but I can't solve it myself and would rather ask a question
I am going to furnish stalls in an upcoming barn. The stalls will eventually have a loft built on top, but the loft will be made next year.
The idea is to build the stalls in a row and separate them with walls. The foundation of the walls will be thick posts that will support the loft. Now to the question: where can I find non-impregnated posts? I search and search but it seems like the hardware stores only sell impregnated posts for things like patios, fence posts, etc. The lady of the house doesn't want impregnated posts in the barn, so I'm looking for alternatives.
It feels very strange that it is not possible to get hold of regular posts in the thickness of 100x100 or thicker somewhere. I guess I could find a sawmill and order posts there, but is it really so uncommon to use thick timber (besides beams etc) in newly built houses? Looking at our old Skånegård, it's completely dependent on its posts and beams of wood...
Help me!

Thanks for that link! So it's glulam that I should be looking for.
But if I understand correctly, the impregnated posts sold everywhere aren't glued, so why are they not just sold as non-impregnated? Well, it's just a question out into the air, now I've found what I'm looking for. Thanks a million!

Available also as solid if desired, although laminated timber has more advantages:Sister ray said:
