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



Hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails (not sure what size you need.)
Electro-galvanized is not good enough. You can probably find stainless
steel nail sticks but that seems kind of overkill to me.
