Default Nail gun for outside use?


Chuck wrote:

I need to replace some of my house outside paneling that is cedar (1'x9 1/4"x
various lengths). I was thinking of using wood screws because some of the new
boards are cupped and the screws will pull the boards up tight to the wall.
Can I use my nail gun? If so, are there any nails that would hold the panel
tight against the wall? Also can I get galvenized or non rust nails?
I have over 100 panels to repair or replace so a nail gun sure would be faster.
Any ideas? Thanks CB


Use glue coated, screw shank galvanized nails. They should be available
for most nail guns.
