| Brand | Exocet |
| Finish | ExoGalv Plus (enhanced galvanised coating) |

What it's used for
- Fixing feather edge boards and timber cladding to fence frames and external structures
- Securing fence rails, gravel boards, and general fencing components
- First and second fix carpentry tasks where a secure, corrosion-resistant nail is required
- Fixing treated timber in exposed or damp conditions where standard bright nails would corrode
Fitting and handling
ExoGalv Plus nails are compatible with most nail guns that accept wire-collated ring shank nails at 2.80mm diameter, so check your tool manufacturer's guidelines before loading. The ring shank profile creates a mechanical grip in the timber fibres, making these nails significantly harder to withdraw than smooth shank equivalents, which is particularly useful in softwood cladding and fencing applications. Store in a dry location to maintain coating integrity, and keep opened packs sealed to prevent moisture ingress on site.
FAQ
Are Exocet ExoGalv Plus nails suitable for pressure-treated timber?
Yes. The ExoGalv Plus coating is formulated to resist the chemicals found in pressure-treated and preservative-treated timber, making these nails a practical choice for fencing, cladding, and other outdoor applications where treated wood is used.
What nail guns are compatible with 2.80mm x 51mm wire-collated ring shank nails?
Most first and second fix nail guns that accept wire-collated nails in the 2.8mm diameter range will be compatible, including common brands such as Paslode, DeWalt, and Bostitch. Always confirm the collation angle and wire gauge against your tool's specification before use.
How many nails do I get in a pack and is the 3,300 quantity enough for a fencing project?
Each pack contains 3,300 nails. For a standard close-board fence panel using feather edge boards, you can expect to use approximately 3 to 4 nails per board per rail, so a single pack will cover a substantial run of fencing. For larger projects, contact Nottage Timber Merchants about bulk quantities.
These nails pair well with our range of feather edge boards, available to order online with next-day delivery to Bridgend and across South Wales. Contact Nottage Timber Merchants for trade pricing on larger volumes.
