These Collated Smooth Shank Nails (90mm x 3.1mm Hot Dip Galvanised, Box of 2200) offer a high-speed, durable solution for large-scale, heavy-duty timber framing and construction. They combine the quick penetration and bulk strength of a smooth shank nail with the superior, long-term corrosion resistance required for all permanent exterior and weather-exposed structural applications.
We recommend these for assembling timber hoarding for nailing the rails to the posts.
Smooth Shank Penetration: The smooth profile shank allows for rapid, easy driving and minimal resistance, making it the ideal choice for heavy timber framing where sheer speed and bulk strength are the primary requirements.
Hot Dip Galvanised Finish (HDG): Features a robust zinc coating applied through the Hot Dip Galvanisation process, ensuring maximum durability and corrosion protection (Service Class 3). This finish is essential for timber used in highly exposed external environments.
High-Capacity Collation: The nails are collated in strips with 2200 nails per box. The collation is compatible with all standard 34° first-fix nail guns, guaranteeing continuous, high-volume fastening for professional contractors.
Structural Framing Size: The 90mm length and 3.1mm diameter are the standard specification for joining thick structural timbers, ensuring maximum material penetration for secure, load-bearing connections.
Longevity in the Elements: The heavy HDG coating prevents rust and degradation, making the connection last as long as the timber structure itself, resisting the effects of rain, sun, and temperature changes.
Heavy Structural Framing: The primary choice for assembling roof trusses, wall frames (studs and plates), and floor joists in new construction.
Exterior Decking and Joists: Provides a robust connection for all weather-exposed joists and structural supports beneath a deck surface.
Timber Fence Posts and Rails: Ideal for securing deep connections between thick fence posts and rails where durability against the weather is paramount.
Landscaping and Retaining Walls: Reliable permanent protection for securing heavy timber in retaining structures or sleepers.
Make planning easy; confirm that your nail gun is compatible with 34° paper-collated nails and can fire 90mm smooth shank fasteners. Crucially, this Electro-Galvanised (E/GALV) finish must only be used for interior construction or environments that are guaranteed to be dry and sheltered from external weather.
