Preguntas Frecuentes
What does "penny weight" mean?
Penny weight (marked as "d") is a traditional size designation. A 10d nail is 3 inches long. Size increases as penny weight increases.
Should I use galvanized nails?
Use galvanized nails for exterior work to prevent rust. Interior trim can use regular nails. Stainless steel suits wet environments.
What size nails for framing?
16d (3.5") nails are standard for 2x lumber framing. Use 10d (3") for thinner materials or lighter framing.
Can I use screws instead of nails?
Screws provide better holding power and are easier to remove. Nails are faster for production work. Use nails for framing, screws for trim.
How deep should nails penetrate?
Nails should penetrate at least 1.5 times the thickness of the fastened material. For structural work, deeper is better.
