Swedish term
trall
Swedish to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Is there another meaning for the word "trall". This is for a company that manufactures brackets and fasteners, etc. I understand "trall" as being a type of wood grating, but it makes no sense in the following sentences:
"Vårt byggsortiment är anpassat för flera typer av byggnationer i olika material som exempelvis trä, trall, stål och betong."
Tråd-och trallskruv
"Vårt byggsortiment är anpassat för flera typer av byggnationer i olika material som exempelvis trä, trall, stål och betong."
Tråd-och trallskruv

outdoor wood flooring/decking
The IKEA product Runnen is sold as outdoor decking in EN and 'trall' in Swedish (for whatever that is worth.
Other references, like the second one below, show outdoor flooring and such. Check these against this Swedish definition I found.

: I'd go for "decking" which is popular, if pernicious, in UK.

Thanks Michael! When the locals start selling 'trall deck,' I have to laugh at their 'nysvenska.'

: Yes, if to cross muddy areas or possibly in a bathroom, "duckboard" would be better but in this context, it has to be what you said

As for 'trallskruv,' you can do some looking based on this reference ( https://vsbyggskruv.se/en/our-brands/turbo-trallskruv/ ) -- 'decking screw.'
Also Tråd- och trallskruv" makes me think of "fibreboard/duckboard screws"
Wondering if "trall" is some time of "fibreboard".
