Grip-Rite patio and deck nails for outdoor construction where holding power and corrosion resistance both matter. As decking cycles wet and dry, the spiral shank turns as it drives and resists backing out; the slim shank helps keep boards from splitting as the nail drives; and the checkered head face keeps the hammer from skating off. Exterior galvanized for outdoor exposure and for use with ACQ treated lumber.
