Description
High-quality fence nails available in different materials to match your specific fencing needs. Our professional-grade fasteners are specifically designed for outdoor fence construction with features that ensure long-lasting hold and structural integrity.
**Material Options:**
*Galvanized Steel Nails:*
– Hot-dipped zinc coating (G90) provides superior rust and corrosion resistance
– Economical choice with excellent performance in most environments
– Zinc coating creates a sacrificial barrier that protects the nail even if coating is scratched
– Compatible with all pressure-treated lumber including ACQ and CA treated wood
– Expected lifespan of 15+ years in typical outdoor conditions
– Meets ASTM A153 standards for hot-dipped galvanized fasteners
*Stainless Steel Nails:*
– Premium 304-grade stainless steel offers ultimate corrosion resistance
– Will not stain or discolor wood, even in wet conditions
– Ideal for cedar, redwood, and other premium woods where discoloration is a concern
– Essential for coastal areas with salt spray exposure
– Expected lifespan of 30+ years even in harsh environments
– Superior holding power with less likelihood of future nail pops
– Non-magnetic and highly resistant to acids and chemicals in treated lumber
**Advanced Design Features:**
– Spiral ring shank pattern provides 40% greater holding power than smooth nails
– Diamond-point tips for easier driving with less wood splitting
– Flat countersunk heads sit flush with wood surface
– Hardened steel construction to prevent bending during installation
– Consistent manufacturing for reliable nail gun compatibility
**Sizing Guide:**
– 2.5 inch : Ideal for attaching 5/8″ to 3/4″ fence pickets to rails
– 2.5 inch : Ideal for attaching the outer picket on a Board on Board style fence(Do not use for Stockade Style – WILL penetrate 2×4!)
– 3 inch : Recommended for attaching 2×4 rails to posts and heavier applications
– Box contains approximately 145 nails per pound (actual count varies by size)
**Application Recommendations:**
– For picket installation: Use 2.5″ nails with two nails per picket at each rail intersection
– For rail installation: Use 3″ nails with two nails at each post intersection
– Pre-drill holes when working near edges to prevent splitting
– For pneumatic nailer use: Set pressure between 90-100 PSI for optimal results
– Allow 1/8″ spacing between pickets for wood expansion/contraction
**Why Our Nails Are Superior:**
– Manufactured to precise specifications for professional fence builders
– Quality controlled for consistent length, diameter, and coating thickness
– Packaged in moisture-resistant containers to prevent premature corrosion
– Engineered specifically for outdoor wood fence construction
**Professional Tips:**
– Always use nails of the same material throughout a fence project to prevent galvanic corrosion
– In high-humidity areas, opt for stainless steel for maximum longevity
– Wear safety glasses when driving nails to protect against flying debris
– Store unused nails in a sealed container to prevent moisture exposure
*Note: For projects using cedar, redwood, or other tannic acid-rich woods, we strongly recommend stainless steel nails to prevent black staining around nail heads caused by reaction between wood acids and galvanized coatings.*
