Stainless Steel Fasteners & Nailing Information

Sources of Literature on Nails and Nailing Practices

Many people think that a nail is a nail. Well, that is not really true. There are many factors that you need to consider when choosing a nail to do a job. For example, the heads of nails are different shapes, the shank or body of the nail may have different configurations or textures for holding power.

Believe it or not, not all nail points are the same. Some are shaped differently so as not to split the wood as the nail is driven.

The California Redwood Association and the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association both offer excellent pamphlets illustrating just how to properly nail exterior siding. It's not as easy as you might think! Check out their web sites!
