Understanding the Rectangular Boat Nails: Types, Uses, and Benefits
What Are Rectangular Boat Nails?
Rectangular Boat Nails or Flat nails are nails made from iron with a flat, rectangular shape. Unlike round wire nails, these have a tapered point that helps secure them more effectively. Historically, they were widely used in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in traditional woodworking and shipbuilding.
Important Factors to Consider When Purchasing Rectangular Nails
- Size:Available in various lengths and dimensions, suitable for different material thicknesses.
- Coating:Typically galvanized, but some are lead-coated for better corrosion resistance.
- Quality:
- Head:Should be well-shaped, with a tapered area under the head and an R-curve for added strength.
- Shank:Must be straight and smooth.
- Point:Sharp and clean, without metal burrs.
Types of Rectangular Nails to Consider
- Zinc-coated:Common and affordable, suitable for general use.
- Lead-coated:More expensive, but highly resistant to corrosion and ideal for marine environments.
Applications of Rectangular Nails
- Used in wooden boat construction
- Ideal for heavy-duty woodworking requiring strong fastening
