I am bonna build a shed in my backyard and I need to know if anyone
knows of some sources (other than the net) for stainless steel nails and
screws for working with the newer types of pressure-treated lumber out
there.

I hear with the copper content being so high, they rot out regular steel
and even the lighter-weight galvanized hangers, nails and screws.

The clips (hangers) for your fence should be ACQ compatable, at least
they are where I live. If you are not sure, ask. I installed over 400'
of fencing recently and getting enough SS nails was a bit tricky. Call
your local fencing contractor for info on where to get them. I did and
I found a good supply at a cedar mill just north of here.

BTW, double dipped galvanzied nails are fine for ACQ.

SO far I can only find screws and nails on line and I would prefer to
buy them locally. I live in Raleigh, NC, os if anyone knows any
suppliers located within a 2-hour drive, I would appreciate it.

Please respond via the group - thanks in advance
