Annular Ring Shank Nails

Learn more about annular ring shank nails

Annular ring shank nails are commonly used for timber fixing work such as framing, fencing, roofing, cladding and decking.

They feature continuous outer ridges that allow the nail to bite deep into timber fibres to prevent backing out, offering up to double the pull-out resistance of standard smooth-shank fixings. 

Typical uses

• Timber decking and subfloors: Securing floorboards and decking to joists to eliminate squeaks and movement.

• Exterior timber cladding: Mounting softwood and hardwood cladding panels to external wall battening without rust staining.

• Fencing and landscaping: Installing timber fence panels and outdoor garden structures subject to high wind loads.

• Roofing batten and truss assembly: Fastening roof battens, timber rafters, and structural plywood sheets securely.

How to choose the right annular ring shank nail

Start with the job in hand. Check the length you need, including options such as 65mm, 40mm, 20mm or 50mm where they suit the specification.

Before you order

Check compatibility with the way you plan to use them, including whether collated ring shank nails or ring shank nail guns compatible with your setup are required.

If you are buying for fencing, cladding or timber decking, make sure the nail type and finish suit the project and the exposure conditions.

Confirm you have essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), ready for high-volume fixing work.
