Siding & Ring-Shank Decking
All You Need to Know About Stainless Steel Nails
B
Siding nails are smaller in diameter and have smaller heads than the standard “threaded
nails” above, making them less obtrusive – perfect for “blind nailing” of tongue-and-groove
siding as well. These nails have a blunt point to minimize splitting and a cross-hatched head
to blend with the texture of the wood. Their smaller size makes them ideal for use with
premium decking materials, such as Redwood and Western Red Cedar.

Part #
Stainless steel nails make more sense than ever in today’s world of acid rain,
pressure-treated building materials and tight economics. Unlike galvanized and
coated nails, stainless steel’s corrosion resistance is uniform through and through,
and it offers protection that isn’t compromised by installation procedures that will
crack, chip, or abrade coated or galvanized nails.
Naturally, stainless steel is most often used in projects where exposure to weather
is most severe. However, even in mild environments, the tannic-acid levels in
Redwood and Western Red Cedar will rapidly cause staining with most coated
nails, and even galvanized nails will eventually succumb and leave ugly stains.
Pressure-treated lumber also causes deterioration of galvanized nails as the zinc
coating combines chemically with the copper salts used in the pressure-treating
process.
Stainless steel nails can help avoid the need to replace siding or decking every few
years because of unsightly discoloration or fastener failure. While stainless steel
nails are obviously more expensive than ordinary galvanized nails, the difference is
small when considering the total cost of construction and the security in knowing
that the job is done right the first time.

Finish (Trim)
C
Stainless steel finish nails have a small head, body and a smooth shank, making them
ideal for installation of exterior trim. They are easily “set” with standard nail sets for total
concealment. In fact, in many cases, the wood fibers will simply swell back over the set nail
for a no-putty installation. These nails have a blunt point to minimize splitting.

The reason is simple: common 304 stainless offers significant corrosion
protection in all but the harshest environments. For applications exposed to large
concentrations of salt, such as seaside docks, decks or buildings, 316 stainless
offers more protection through its increased nickel content.

What About Strength?
Stainless steel nails are STRONG! Wire tensile strength ranges from 125,000 to
145,000 psi. The ultimate lateral strength of stainless nails is about 20% higher
than that of ordinary plain steel nails; stiffness is about equal.
Ring-Shank Roofing
About the Shank Style
“Ring shank” nails are most popular because they offer superior resistance to
withdrawal. Annular rings on the shank act like one-way barbs as the nail enters
the wood, locking it in securely. “Ring shank” nails are not suitable for use where
substantial shear, racking or lateral loads are present.

Annular Ring-Shank Common
Note: Pilot holes are rarely needed with stainless steel nails, any more than they
are needed with common steel or galvanized nails. However, you can eliminate
splitting wood or bending nails by predrilling. Generally, pilot holes should be 3/4
of the length of the nail used, for best results.

What could be better than stainless steel nails for attaching roofing slates? These ring shank
nails have exceptional holding power in wood and plywood and a sharp diamond point for
drivability.
