Product Information

Full details

Designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners, these 13mm Roofing Felt Clout Nails provide a reliable solution for securing shed roofing materials and external cladding with ease. The primary benefit of these nails is their zinc-plated construction, which offers excellent resistance against moisture and corrosion in outdoor environments. One minor caveat to keep in mind is that the 13mm length is specifically optimized for thin felt or light cladding; users working with thicker roofing materials may require longer alternatives to ensure full penetration.

FAQs

Can I use these nails for thick shingles?

No, the 13mm length is intended for thin felt or membranes. Thick shingles require longer nails for adequate structural support.

Are these nails weatherproof?

Yes, they are zinc-plated to resist corrosion and moisture, making them suitable for outdoor shed roofs.

How many nails come in the pack?

Each pack contains approximately 185 nails.

Can I use these on cedar or oak?

These are best suited for softwoods. Hardwoods may require pre-drilling to prevent the nails from bending.

Does the plastic case come with the nails?

Yes, the nails are supplied in a reusable, durable plastic case for easy storage.

Troubleshooting

Nail bends upon impact

Ensure you are using a direct, flat hammer stroke and that the nail is not striking a dense knot in the wood.

Nail is not holding the felt tightly

Ensure you are nailing through both the felt and the underlying support structure; if the felt is loose, you may need to apply more tension before securing.

Rust appearing on nail heads

While zinc-plated, exposure to extreme chemicals or constant standing water can accelerate wear; apply a small dab of exterior-grade silicone if you notice early corrosion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Corrosion-resistant zinc plating for outdoor longevity
  • Large flat head prevents damage to roofing felt
  • Practical container keeps workspace tidy
  • Ideal length for standard thin-material installation

Cons

  • Limited to thin materials due to 13mm length
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty structural timber
  • Pack size may be insufficient for large garden buildings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best installation, use a standard 16oz or 20oz claw hammer. Avoid using a power nailer, as the high impact can damage the zinc plating and potentially tear the felt material.

Compatibility:

  • Substrates: Softwood, plywood, and OSB panels.
  • Materials: Roofing felt, garden membranes, thin timber fascia, and light cladding.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the plastic case closed when not in use to prevent debris buildup.
  • Store in a dry location to maintain the effectiveness of the zinc-plated finish.
  • If a nail becomes bent during installation, remove it entirely to avoid creating a weak point in the seal.
