Galvanised Clout Nails

Clout Nails

🧲 Galvanisation dramatically extends nail lifespan

Clout nails like these are coated in zinc, which forms a protective barrier against moisture. In outdoor structures such as polytunnels, galvanisation can extend nail life by 5–10× compared to untreated steel, especially in damp or coastal UK environments.

🔩 The 2.65mm x 50mm size is a sweet spot for polytunnel work

This specific size offers a balance of shear strength and ease of driving. It’s commonly used for fixing timber battens, securing polythene sheeting, and attaching accessory fittings without tearing the cover.

🛠️ They’re not just for polytunnels

Despite being listed under polytunnel accessories, clout nails are widely used in:

  • Roofing felt installation

  • General carpentry

  • Outdoor timber projects Their broad head makes them ideal for securing softer materials.
