Hi folks, I'm building a little lean-to bike shed in the garden. All gone well, now just building the ledge-and-brace doors.
I was planning to use my brad nailer to fix the T&G door to the ledges etc., but with 15mm doors and 18mm ledges, a 32mm brad will poke through the back as soon as the brad goes beneath the surface. I can't get brads shorter than 32mm for my nailer.
So I thought I'd use ring shank nails, which I can get at 25mm. However, these are bright not galvanised, and I can't seem to find galvanised rink shanks anywhere.
So my question is: Have I just got the wrong idea altogether? What should I be using to fix door to ledge? Stainless? Something I can pick up from Screwfix or Toolstation would be ideal.
Cheers
