roofing nails

Short, wide-headed spikes

Roofing nails are short nails with broad, flat heads designed to secure shingles and other roofing materials.

The wide head distributes force and prevents the nail from tearing through.

They're typically galvanized to resist rust from weather exposure: We need another box of roofing nails to finish the shed.
