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.

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

Lowes (where I bought my PT screws, I didn't check at HD). Phillips deck
screws for new PT formula. Anti-camout rib screws (ACR) with screw bit
in box. Duralast coating (looks like drk. grey paint). These screws
claim to be paintable and stainable.
