Nails

Galvanised bullet head nails are a solid choice for timber fencing. Their rust resistance makes them suitable for outdoor use, and they provide the holding power needed for rails and palings. While some builders use staples for palings, nails usually give a stronger, more secure fit. Choose a length that matches the timber thickness and space them evenly to build a durable fence.

A bullet head nail has a smooth shank with a rounded head that can be driven just below the timber surface. You’ll see them used for framing, fixing and general carpentry, especially when the head will be punched in and filled. They’re stronger than brad nails but not as visible as clouts, so they work well in everything from structural jobs to semi-finished projects.

Not all brands of nails will fit or fire correctly in every gun. Some may load but can cause misfires, jamming or damage over time. The wrong nails may void the warranty on your nail gun. To stay covered, always use the nails recommended by the manufacturer. If you’re not certain which ones to choose, ask Allcon before you buy so you don’t risk delays on site.
