Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie S10APBB Post and Beam Nail delivers a powerful, corrosion-resistant fastening solution engineered for demanding outdoor and structural applications. Built from Type 304 stainless steel, this 10-gauge, 3-inch annular ring shank nail is purpose-designed to hold firm in conditions where standard fasteners fall short. The annular ring shank dramatically increases withdrawal resistance, creating a secure, lasting attachment in post-and-beam construction and general framing. A distinctive checker pattern on the full round head blends naturally with wood grain, minimizes sunlight glare, and accepts surface finishes for a clean, professional result. Each package contains 25 lb. of nails (approximately 79 nails per pound), making it an efficient bulk solution for large-scale projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of stainless steel are these nails made from, and why does it matter for outdoor use?
- These nails are made from Type 304 stainless steel, which provides high-level corrosion resistance. This makes them well-suited for exterior applications and environments where moisture exposure is a concern, including construction with preservative-treated wood.
- Are these nails suitable for permanent wood foundation construction?
- Yes. Stainless-steel nails of this type are recommended for the construction of permanent wood foundations by the ANSI/AF&PA Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications, making them an appropriate choice for that application.
- What is the shank type, and how does it affect holding power?
- These nails feature an annular ring shank, which significantly increases withdrawal resistance compared to a smooth shank nail. This helps create a secure, long-lasting attachment in post-and-beam construction and general framing applications.
- How many nails are included in a package, and what are the key dimensions?
- Each package contains 25 lb. of nails, which is approximately 79 nails per pound. The nails measure 3 inches in length with a shank diameter of 0.131 inches, a full round head with a 9/32-inch head diameter, and are made from 10-gauge steel. The penny size is 10d.
