Getting the right screws and nails

Length

A rule of thumb is a fixing at least two and a half times the thickness of the piece you are fixing.

Inside or outside?

Use galvanised, coated or stainless fixings outdoors and with treated timber, so they do not corrode.

Getting screws and nails onto your Carlisle site

Boxed fixings travel with the rest of your order. Carlisle is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Your questions answered

Yes, collated nails for common framing and finishing guns; tell us the gun model.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Carlisle?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Can I use ordinary screws with treated timber?

Outdoors, use galvanised, coated or stainless fixings to avoid corrosion.
