Galvanised Nails

Using hot-dipped Galvanised Nails is one of the steps needed to extend the life of any fence.
Not all "galvanised" nails are the same; some nails are just thinly plated (what's known as Commercial Galvanising) and are not suitable for fencing as they corrode relatively quickly. 

We supply a range of hot-dipped galvanised nails suitable for all types of fencing or general use.
If you are unsure what length or gauge nails to use, please get in touch with our Sales Team, who will be happy to help and advise you.

• All our Nails are hot-dip galvanised.
• Available in handy 1-kg bags or 5-kg Tubs.
  (Tubs are not available for all sizes.)

Insert the nails by hitting squarely on the nail head with a hammer.

Also available are a selection of galvanised staples and Paslode-style collated nails.

As an alternative to nails, you can use external wood screws for many applications, although pre-drilling may be required.

Available in 1-kg bags or 5-kg Tubs.
Tubs are not available for all sizes.

This tip sounds a bit contrary to what you would normally think, but it really does work.

Tap the nail point onto a piece of hard scrap metal to flatten it. This reduces the risk of the wood splitting when the nail is hammered into place.
