Never store lumber in a room with fresh concrete or drywall. Let the wood product acclimatize for at least one week before application. Ideally you should sticker the wood in the room it will be added to. Bear Creek Lumber recommends these types of nails, and as a service to our customers offers them for sale along with a lumber order. Bear Creek Lumber has wood siding nails, shake and shingle nails, cedar or redwood stained decking nails as well as finishing nails.
All nails are available in a variety of lengths.
Ask your salesperson for more information. This is because pre-finished lumber is less likely to shrink or swell after it has been nailed up. Be sure that the pre-finish is compatible with the final coat before application. For example, clear water repellents should not be used if a bleaching finish is planned for the final coat. Use building paper under all types of natural wood siding.
