 |

Recommended nail to hang T111 on a 2x4 shed?
Better way of phrasing the question... Should I buy a 15 ga. nail
gun... or a larger gun?
Note: Have wife... must justify purchases... you know the drill...
you all have helped before...  |

I do not think 15ga will cut it -- use 2 3/8" nails -- 8d if I remember
correctly -- your gonna need a framing nailer to shoot them

I would either hammer or shoot a 8d nail.
Ring shanked are a better choice....
This is a damn good reason to get a framing nailer...

I used Stormguard #6 ring shanks by Maze (Bottom of the page):
