Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

These smooth shank, wide-head galvanized nails suit felt and insulation board attachment as well as standard shingle work on wood decks. Match nail length so penetration into the deck is adequate for the material thickness. For underlayment, plastic cap nails are often specified, and Grip-Rite makes those as well.

Wear eye protection and gloves when hand-nailing; nails and sharp ends can cause puncture injuries.
