Not having any luck finding a source for 2x6 T&G roof decking hem or fir or pine. Anyone have a source in southeast BC Golden area? or close to there
I think I'd have to get it made here.
Plenty of people who can do that, though. Wood cut at one of the local sawmills, then run through a dry-kiln, then have it planed and t-and-g cut by someone with a shop. Doing it with a router sounds like a dead bore. Although I've seen half-lap cuts done with a router in 5/4 wood intended to be used rough-cut.
Friend of mine did that with some kind of special flooring (persimmon? sassafras?) not too long ago. That too probably started out as 5/4 wood. Not near as heavy as 2".
There are few ways to make it yourself - quality could vary depending on how well you set it up. Table saw with a dado blade or skill saw can be used. I burned up a couple routers. I was making shiplap which is quite a bit easier but wouldn't work for deck.
There has to be a sourse for T&G Hemlock in southern BC , come on thats' where most of ours , US 's comes from.They mill 1000's of brd feet a day fer cryin out loud :-[
Try a lumber yard ::)
Skiwest,
I believe the mill at Galloway made it at one time, it was called car decking and it was about 30 years ago that I saw someone use it for floor decking? Give them a call, you never know.
my google searches were going no where but I did find two. Well found one small saw mill in Veron area that did flooring and when I asked said they could do the roof decking. Another one I had found before but had stored in favorites but couldn't fine. Have a price from them.
when we put in the loft will use the same thing but good both sides. Ceiling joists will be 6x10s on 5 foot centers so 2x 6 should be fine for floor.
