Why not nails?
A friend was talking to my wife and said "I wouldn't install those deck
boards with a nail gun, I'd use screws instead". The wife didn't think to ask why not so I will. Why not? -- I'm JC and I approved this message. |

I'm not your wife's friend, so I can't speak for that individual. I used screws on my deck because they look better, can be easily countersunk, don't split the wood, and allow for easier removal when I want to replace a board, or remove one or more boards to deal with an issue under the deck. |

Good points all but I just finished the deck with nails. I just like that macho feel when that nail gun goes bang. I used ring shank so maybe they won't pop and if I have to remove a board I'll just grind the head off. Thanks for the responses. -- I'm JC and I approved this message. |

And every couple of years, you don't have to go around with a hammer to knock a bunch of nail heads back in, especially on an older deck. And nobody say I shoulda used the spiral shanked deck nails, cause that's what I'm hammering back in. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Hot dipped galvanized is ok also for the new PT boards. And that's why
should be used outdoors anyway. s wrote in message ... You are aware that the treated wood they sell these days require stainless steel nails or screws, right? If you used plain steel nails, they will rust/corrode in a few years or less because of all the copper in the recent treated wood. If you used stainless nails in your nail gun, I did not know they made stainless gun nails. |

You'll snag your shoe on a nail, trip, and your head will hit a clay planter, which will shatter, and a sharp edge will cut the veins in your neck. One of your kids will find you and scream, which will bring the dog running out to see what's up. Both kid and dog will spend the rest of their lives in therapy, like Woody Allen. All because you used nails. |
