Why Choose Stainless Nail Gun Nails?

1. Outstanding Corrosion Resistance

Stainless nails don’t rust, even in constant moisture.
That means:

• No black streaks on timber
• No nail corrosion
• Longer-lasting structures

It’s why they’re the top choice for decking, fencing and external cladding.

2. Strong and Reliable Hold

FirmaHold stainless nails are tough and resist shearing under load.
They work in hardwoods, softwoods and treated timber without compromise.

3. Perfect for Coastal, Wet and Exposed Areas

Galvanised coatings can eventually fail.
Stainless nails stay stable, even in:

• Heavy rain
• High humidity
• Coastal air
• Freeze–thaw cycles

When Should You Use Stainless Nail Gun Nails?

Use stainless nails for any exterior project where the fixings must last:

• Decking installations
• Fencing and gates
• Pergolas and garden buildings
• External cladding
• Timber frames
• Work in coastal or damp environments

Timber with high tannin content (oak, cedar, larch, redwood)

If the timber is outdoors, stainless is always the safest choice.

How to Choose the Right Stainless Nails

Choose the correct shank type

FirmaHold stainless nails are ring shank only, which is ideal for exterior structural use because they offer maximum grip strength.
This makes them perfect for:

• Decking
• Fencing
• External cladding
• Timber framing
• Green oak and high-tannin timbers

Match the nail length to the job

A simple rule of thumb:
Use a nail 2.5–3× the thickness of the board being fixed.

This gives reliable holding power without over-penetrating.

Check nail gun compatibility

FirmaHold stainless nails suit most 34° paper-collated clipped-head nailers, including:

• Paslode
• Hikoki
• Makita
• DeWalt
• Other Paslode-type 34° framing nailers

Always confirm your gun accepts 34° clipped-head, paper-collated nails.
