Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the nails are driven perpendicular to the surface. While the sherardised finish is highly resistant to moisture, it is good practice to store the nails in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the protective coating. When using these with hardwoods, pre-drilling a small pilot hole is recommended to prevent splitting, as the ring shank requires a tighter fit than smooth-shank alternatives. Always wear appropriate eye protection when hammering, and ensure the nail length is at least twice the thickness of the material being attached for maximum load-bearing performance.
