Meet the backbone of sturdy exterior framing projects: Bostitch 2 in. framing nails, crafted from galvanized 11-gauge steel and coil‑collated for efficient driving with your 15° framing nailer. Each box packs 3,600 nails, designed to power through large builds—from timber framing and deck framing to tough subfloor applications—without frequent reloading.
Why these nails stand out
-
Corrosion-resistant galvanized finish protects against moisture and weather, making them ideal for outdoor structures and long-lasting assemblies.
-
11-gauge, 2" length provides reliable grip and sufficient thickness for strong framing connections while staying manageable to drive.
-
0.099" diameter strikes a balance between strength and ease of penetration, reducing wood splitting on clean, straight nailing paths.
-
Diamond point tip delivers smoother starts and quicker penetration through knotty or tough wood, reducing driver jams and misfires.
-
Smooth shank promotes steady driving in less dense lumber, helping you maintain a consistent depth and finish.
-
Offset round head provides solid seating without excessive protrusion, supporting cleaner finishes where exposed nails are visible.
-
15° wire coil collation is compatible with a wide range of common framing nailers, enabling efficient, continuous firing for rapid progress.
Ideal use cases
Perfect for exterior framing projects where corrosion resistance and reliability matter. Use these nails for:
- Wall framing and structural connections in decks, porches, and outdoor sheds
- Subfloor and sheathing attachments where exposure to the elements is a concern
- Heavy framing tasks that benefit from a robust 2" nail length and 11-gauge thickness
Practical guidance for builders
- Pair with a compatible 15° framing nailer and ensure your compressor settings match your nailer’s recommended depth to achieve flush seating.
- Use galvanized nails in outdoor or high-humidity environments to maximize longevity and minimize maintenance needs.
- Reserve these nails for structural connections where holding power is essential, while recognizing that smooth shank nails prioritize drive efficiency over maximum hold in certain substrates.
