Product Information
Full details
The Securfix Trade Pack Galvanised Clout Nails are an essential hardware solution for DIYers and contractors requiring reliable fastening for roofing, felt, and general timber projects. These 50mm nails offer excellent durability due to their galvanised finish, which provides enhanced resistance against rust and environmental wear. While they are highly effective for outdoor and moisture-prone applications, users should note that the pack size is limited to 10 units, making them best suited for smaller touch-up jobs or specific repair tasks rather than large-scale construction projects.

FAQs
Can these nails be used for pressure-treated timber?
Yes, the galvanised finish is suitable for use with most pressure-treated timbers.
Are these nails weather-resistant?
Yes, the galvanised coating is designed to resist rust and weathering, making them suitable for outdoor use.
How many nails are in one pack?
This specific trade pack contains 10 nails.
What is the primary use of a clout nail?
Clout nails are designed with a large head to secure thin or flexible materials like roofing felt without the nail pulling through the material.
Can I use these for indoor trim work?
Yes, the clean silver finish makes them appropriate for indoor projects where the nail head may remain visible.
Do I need a special hammer for these?
No, a standard carpenter's hammer is sufficient for these 50mm nails.
Troubleshooting
Nail head sinks too deep into the material
Reduce your hammer force or use a protective thin buffer layer between the hammer and the nail head during the final strikes.
Nail bends upon impact
Ensure you are using a pilot hole if working with harder woods or dense composite materials.
Corrosion observed over time
While galvanised, severe coastal salt exposure may require additional sealant or painting over the nail heads for extra protection.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these nails effectively, align your material and hammer the nail firmly at a 90-degree angle until the head sits flush with the surface. For soft materials, use a light touch to ensure you do not crush the underlying layer. These nails are compatible with most softwood and plywood substrates. While the galvanisation provides a layer of protection, store any unused nails in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the coating. If you notice white powder on the surface, wipe it off with a dry cloth before use to ensure a clean finish.
