Framing nails are specialized fasteners used in construction, particularly for building the framework of structures like houses. They are typically longer and thicker than standard nails, allowing them to securely hold together wooden beams and studs. Framing nails are often made of steel and can be coated to resist rust and corrosion. These nails are usually driven into wood using a nail gun, which makes the process faster and more efficient than using a hammer. Framing nails come in various lengths and diameters, depending on the specific requirements of the project, ensuring strong and durable connections in the framework.
