galvanized nails

Rust-resistant metal spikes

Galvanized nails are nails coated with zinc to prevent rust.

The coating allows them to withstand moisture, making them standard for outdoor construction, fencing, and roofing.

Use galvanized nails for the deck—regular ones will rust through in a few years.
