Hi all,

I started a thread a few days ago about building a shed, but instead of
adding this to the tail of that thread I thought I'd start a new
thread.

Anyway, for a standard 10x12 shed would you guys suggest using nails or
screws? I assume screws are more secure, but I'm not sure. Also if I
used nails, what's involved in getting a nailgun? I have a large
Craftsman air compressor I can use.

Thanks...

Ringo


Avoid screws for framing a structure, they have far less shear strength
than
nails. When the do fail they snap, nails won't.
A framing nailer will cost you a few hundred dollars, and will probably be
overkill for just a shed. Just buy a nice 22oz Eastwing framing hammer.
