Galv Round Head Nails

Galvanised round head nails are the outdoor and exposed-location workhorse nail - the equivalent of the bright round wire nail but with the hot-dip or electro-galvanised coating that makes them the correct choice for fencing, shed construction, outdoor joinery, and any timber work that will be exposed to moisture. At the DIY Hardware Store, galvanised round head nails are available in the sizes used across the main construction and joinery applications.

Galvanising creates a zinc coating that oxidises to form a tight, stable layer that protects the underlying steel from further corrosion. This makes galvanised nails significantly longer-lasting in outdoor conditions than bright or electroplated nails - essential for fixings in fence panels, garden structures, outdoor decking frameworks, and anywhere the nail will be permanently exposed to UK weather conditions. Using ungalvanised nails outdoors is a false economy - the nails corrode, stain the timber, and eventually fail structurally.
