FASTENERS Screws, Nails, Bolts…
SCREWS AND NAILS • Must resist corrosion • Rusting fasteners retain moisture • Rot • Bleed
SCREWS AND NAILS • Galvanizedcoating • Specify “hot-dipped” • Avoid electro-galvanized (bright) • Stainless steel • Polymer-coated
NAILS • Hardened piece of wire • Nail length is given in “Penny Weight” (d) • 10d nail is about 3” long
PENNYWEIGHT? The term penny originated in England many years ago. Ten penny, four penny, etc., nails got their names from the fact that one hundred nails of that size cost ten pence, four pence, etc. Today penny represents the definite length of a nail measured from the head to the tip of the point. The term penny is still shown by using the English Pence sign d.
NAILS Avoid splitting wood • Using pilot holes • Flat side with the grain
NAILS Avoid splitting wood • Stagger nails
NAILS Avoid splitting wood • Blunt tips
NAILS TYPES • Smooth shank • Ring shank • Spiral shank • Truss nail • Duplex nail (temporary)
SCREWS • Greater resistance to withdrawal than nails • Specify size by diameter and length • ¼” x 3” • ½” x 6”
PILOT HOLE for SCREWS • Pilot hole should be smaller than screw • Thread bites into wood • Size of shank
SCREWS TYPES Wood Screws • Standard • Phillips • Square drive • Star (torx) drive
Screws • Phillips/Square/Slotted combo head
SCREWS TYPES Sheet metal screws • Tip acts like a drill bit
SCREWS TYPES Lag Screws • Heavy duty screw used when bolts cannot • 2 to 8” long
Lag Screws Installation • Drill about half the length of lag screw • Hammer to bottom of pilot hole • Thread the rest of way

BOLTS • Better shear strength than nails and screws • Used in major structural joints • Size: diameter and length • Sizing length: 1” greater than the adjoining boards
PILOT HOLE for BOLTS • Pilot hole same size as bolt • Thread bite not required • Washers and nut required to fasten
BOLT TYPES Standard Bolt • Hex or square head
BOLT TYPES Carriage bolt • Round head with square base for better look and feel • Tighten until square base crunches in

BOLT TYPES Expanding or wedge bolt • Attaching to concrete or brick • Flange fits into pre-drilled hole
Wedge Bolt Installation • Drill depth of bolt with concrete bit • Hammer bolt to bottom of pilot hole • Avoid flattening threads • Tighten nut and washer

JOINING MATERIALS • Toenailing: 45-degree through end of board
JOINING MATERIALS • Butt joint: two boards simply butted together
JOINING MATERIALS • Miter cut: angle cut across width • Miter joint: 90-degree corner
JOINING MATERIALS • Bevel cut: angle cut along thickness
