Product Description
Simpson 6d Decking Nail, 2 in. x.120 in. Ring Shank, Type 316 Stainless Steel (25 lb.) is an exterior fastener from Simpson engineered specifically for deck boards, docks, and boardwalks where moisture exposure and preservative-treated lumber demand a corrosion-resistant, long-lasting hold. Built from Type 316 stainless steel for severe-level corrosion resistance and designed with an annular ring shank to fight withdrawal over time, this 6d nail delivers the durability and performance that outdoor fastening projects require.
Key Features
- Type 316 stainless steel construction - provides severe-level corrosion resistance, keeping fasteners intact against the moisture, humidity, and harsh chemicals present in preservative-treated lumber and coastal environments.
- Annular ring shank - increases withdrawal resistance so nail heads stay flush with your deck or dock surface over time, reducing the risk of popping and trip hazards.
- Larger shank diameter - easily penetrates both green and seasoned preservative-treated pine, giving you consistent, reliable installation regardless of the lumber's moisture content.
- Checkered head pattern - blends with wood grain and reduces glare from sunlight, producing a cleaner, more finished appearance on your completed deck or dock surface.
- Full round head with diamond point - the diamond point makes driving easier and more efficient, while the full round head provides a broad bearing surface for a secure, stable hold.
- Ideal for deck boards, docks, and boardwalks - purpose-built for the exact conditions and applications where exterior nail performance is most critical.
Why This Product
- Built for the harshest outdoor conditions - Type 316 stainless steel is the recommended choice when fasteners face prolonged exposure to moisture, salt air, and the corrosive chemicals found in preservative-treated wood, making this nail a dependable long-term solution for decks and docks alike.
- Designed to stay put - the annular ring shank actively works against withdrawal forces that cause nail heads to pop above the surface over time, helping your decking installation maintain a safe, flat finish season after season.
- Works with the lumber you have on hand - the larger shank diameter drives cleanly into both green and seasoned preservative-treated pine, so you are not limited by lumber moisture content or stage of drying.
- A trusted fastener brand for structural applications - Simpson engineered this nail specifically for deck and dock projects, ensuring the geometry, material, and shank design all work together for a fastening solution you can count on in demanding exterior conditions.
