FAQs
What does the sherardised finish mean?
Sherardising is a process where zinc is heated and diffused into the surface of the steel, creating a highly durable, corrosion-resistant alloy layer.
Can these nails be used for pressure-treated timber?
Yes, the high-quality finish is generally suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber due to its effective resistance against chemical reactions.
Are these suitable for structural roofing?
They are ideal for timber framing; however, always consult local building codes to ensure the nail gauge and length meet specific structural requirements.
Can I remove these nails easily if I make a mistake?
No, the annular rings are designed to lock into the wood, making them very difficult to remove without damaging the surrounding timber.
Are these nails weather-resistant?
Yes, they are highly weather-resistant and appropriate for outdoor use thanks to the protective zinc-diffusion coating.
Troubleshooting
Nail bends upon impact
Ensure the hammer is striking the head squarely and check that the timber is not excessively hard; use a pilot hole if necessary.
Timber splits during fastening
Reduce the diameter of the nail, use a pilot hole, or ensure the nail is not being placed too close to the edge of the board.
Nail head sits proud of the surface
Use a nail punch to drive the head flush without marring the wood surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Tool Compatibility: These nails can be driven using standard framing hammers or appropriate pneumatic nail guns set to the correct pressure.
Pilot Holes: In very dense or brittle wood types, it is advisable to drill a small pilot hole to prevent splitting the timber fibers.
Storage: Keep the nails in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the protective sherardised coating.
Safety: Always wear appropriate eye protection when hammering to protect against flying splinters or nail debris.
