Yet another nail gun question

[Stringman_uk]

Hi all
I have some garden projects planned.
I need to build some picket fences and build a large summer house with T&G cladding.
Lat work I did was a log store and I used an electric Tacwise nailer (max 40mm) which worked but I feel the nails arent long enough.

I have a fair few Dewalt 18v tools so am going down that route.
Originally I was thinking a 1st fix nailer beacuse of the heads, but I think that will be overkill so now I am thinking of a DCN662N 2nd fix.
Obiously for the summerhouse joists etc I will use screws.

Does this sound the right way to go?

Thanks in advance.

I'd be concerned too that 2nd fix nails don't have enough hold for external cladding. For a large shed I built, I used short ring shank nails to secure it without a gun. 2.6mm diameter or thereabouts.

If you've got a lot of framing to do then I wouldn't hesitate to get a 1st fix gun. I have the DeWalt 692 which covers a good range of nail lengths.
