Product Information
Full details
The Securfix Galvanised Flat Clout Nails are an essential fastening solution for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals looking for reliable, long-lasting holding power. Featuring an extra-large head designed to prevent pull-through in softer materials, these nails provide a robust grip for fencing, roofing, and general outdoor woodwork. While they excel in durability due to their galvanised coating, users should note that the 250g pack is intended for smaller-scale projects or supplementary fastening rather than large-scale construction jobs.

FAQs
Are these nails suitable for marine environments?
While the galvanised finish provides excellent weather resistance, they are not intended for direct, continuous exposure to saltwater environments.
Can I use these for indoor furniture?
Yes, but be aware that the wide, flat head will be visible, which may impact the aesthetic of fine indoor furniture.
How many nails are in a 250g pack?
The exact count varies depending on the specific length of the nails chosen, as 250g is a weight-based measurement.
Are these stainless steel?
No, these are galvanised steel, which offers a balance between durability and cost-effectiveness.
Can I paint over these nails?
Yes, once the nails are installed, they can be painted over with standard metal or wood primers and paints.
Troubleshooting
Nail bending during installation
Ensure you are using a pilot hole for hardwoods and that the hammer strike is centered on the nail head.
Nail pulling out over time
Check that the material thickness is appropriate; consider using a longer nail if the substrate is loose or degrading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, use a standard claw hammer that matches the nail shank size. Because these nails are galvanised, they are compatible with most softwood and pressure-treated timber. To maintain the longevity of the nails, store the pack in a cool, dry place to prevent premature oxidation of the galvanisation. If you are working with extremely hard woods, pre-drilling a small pilot hole is recommended to prevent the nail from bending during insertion.
