unnailed
Lacking metal fasteners
Unnailed means not fastened with nails, or having had nails removed.
A board that was never secured is unnailed; so is one pried loose from a fence.
The unnailed planks shifted underfoot.
The word appears most often in carpentry or construction contexts, describing materials either awaiting installation or deliberately unfastened.
