Collated Spike Rolls and Strip Fasteners for Powder-Actuated Tools

Spike rolls and collated fasteners provide rapid installation for fencing, decking and timber assembly where pneumatic or powder-actuated tools are used. They come in strips or coils designed for specific nail guns, enabling faster work and consistent spacing.

When to use collated spikes

Use collated spikes for repetitive tasks like fixing battens, installing fence palings or laying decking battens. They reduce loading time and improve productivity on site. Confirm compatibility with your tool, and select length and gauge suitable for the materials being joined.

Compatibility and safety tips

• Collation type: check if your tool requires plastic-collated, wire-welded or paper-collated strips.
• Spike dimensions: choose length and shank thickness for penetration without splitting the timber.
• Coatings: galvanized or stainless options for outdoor durability.
• Storage and handling: keep rolls dry and use recommended safety gear with power tools.

Buying spikes in bulk or from clearance stock can lower costs for large projects, but always verify condition and tool compatibility. Proper setting depth and spacing are crucial for a secure finish, so test on scrap material before committing to final fixings.
