The Simpson Cedar and Redwood Decking Nail is engineered for long-lasting performance and a clean finish in high-end decking projects. Made from 316 stainless steel and sized at 12 gauge x 2", this nail offers top-tier corrosion resistance while preventing staining or streaking on natural wood surfaces like cedar and redwood.

Designed for smooth, secure fastening, the 2" length provides solid penetration into deck framing without over-driving or damaging the surface. Ideal for coastal builds, premium outdoor decks, or chemically treated lumber installations where both durability and appearance are essential.

Key Features:

• 316 Stainless Steel Construction – Provides unmatched corrosion resistance for marine, coastal, and high-humidity environments.
• 12 Gauge x 2" Length – Optimized for decking boards over joists; offers strong hold with minimal wood damage.
• Smooth Shank Design – Reduces splitting in softwoods like cedar and redwood while maintaining reliable withdrawal resistance.
• Finish-Grade Head – Blends seamlessly into the surface for a clean, professional appearance.
• Stain-Free Performance – Eliminates black streaking often caused by inferior fasteners in natural wood.

Applications:

• Cedar and redwood decking
• Coastal and marine deck projects
• Pergolas, walkways, and boardwalks
• High-end outdoor structures
• Pressure-treated or naturally durable lumber installations

Installation:

• Use with a pneumatic nailer rated for 12 gauge stainless steel nails.
• Drive nails flush with the board surface; over-driving may damage delicate wood grains.
• Avoid mixing stainless steel with carbon steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
• Ideal for decking boards 3/4" to 1" thick—confirm with local code and builder recommendations.
• Always follow Simpson Strong-Tie installation specs for fastener spacing and coverage.
