Product Description
King Cobra SS Nails are premium 100% stainless steel fasteners engineered for applications where regular steel or galvanised nails would rust, corrode, or stain surrounding materials within months. Available in 1.5" (38mm × 3.6mm) and 2" (50mm × 4.0mm) sizes, each sold in a convenient 1 Kg pack, these nails are built for decking, roofing, fencing, marine structures, and any outdoor or high-moisture environment where fastener longevity is non-negotiable. The polished stainless steel finish also ensures the nails themselves remain stain-free and visually clean over their service life.
The key advantage of stainless steel over galvanised nails is long-term corrosion resistance — galvanised coatings eventually wear through, especially in coastal salt-spray environments or when in contact with treated timber, exposing the underlying steel to rust. King Cobra SS Nails are solid stainless throughout, meaning there is no protective coating to wear away. This makes them the professional choice for projects where re-fastening or replacement would be difficult or costly — docks, elevated decks, pergolas, and roofing installations where the structure is expected to last decades without maintenance.
Key Features
- 100% Stainless Steel Construction: Solid stainless throughout — no coating to chip or wear away, unlike galvanised alternatives that eventually expose the base steel to corrosion.
- Superior Corrosion & Rust Resistance: Chromium content in the stainless alloy forms a passive oxide layer that actively resists rust formation even in salt-spray, coastal, and perpetually damp conditions.
- Stain-Resistant Finish: Polished surface resists discolouration and staining, preventing the rust streaks that galvanised or plain steel nails bleed onto timber, composite, and masonry surfaces.
- Two Size Options: 1.5" for lighter or thinner material fastening and 2" for heavier, load-bearing applications — both sized with appropriate diameters for their respective holding requirements.
- Maintenance-Free: No painting, coating, or periodic treatment required — install and leave; the stainless steel performs without upkeep for the life of the structure.

Application & Installation Guidance
Getting the best results from King Cobra SS Nails
- Size Selection: Use 1.5" nails for thinner materials and trim; use 2" nails for decking boards, heavier timber, and structural connections where deeper penetration and higher holding strength are needed.
- Pre-Drilling for Hardwood: For dense or hard timber species (teak, hardwood decking, etc.), pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the nail diameter to prevent splitting and make driving easier.
- Treated Timber Compatibility: Stainless steel is the recommended fastener for ACQ and CCA pressure-treated timber — these treatments are highly corrosive to galvanised and plain steel nails, making SS nails the only long-term reliable option.
- Coastal & Marine Use: In salt-spray environments, stainless steel is the only fastener that maintains structural integrity over time — galvanised coatings degrade rapidly under persistent salt exposure.
Recommended Applications
Where King Cobra SS Nails fit best
- Timber Decking: Fastening deck boards where rust streaks on the deck surface from corroding nails are unacceptable.
- Roofing & Metal Sheets: Securing roofing materials, corrugated sheets, and flashing in exposed outdoor installations.
- Fencing & Gates: Installation of wooden, composite, and bamboo fence panels and gate hardware in outdoor settings.
- Docks, Jetties & Marine Structures: Waterfront fastening where constant moisture and salt exposure make any non-stainless fastener unsuitable.
- Pergolas, Gazebos & Outdoor Structures: Garden structures that must withstand year-round rain and humidity without corroding fasteners.
- Coastal Construction: Any building or structure within salt-spray distance of the ocean where corrosion protection is a structural requirement.

FAQs
1) What is the difference between stainless steel nails and galvanised nails — which should I use?
Galvanised nails are steel nails coated with a layer of zinc for corrosion protection. The coating works well in mild conditions but eventually wears through — especially in coastal salt-spray environments or when used with pressure-treated timber — exposing the steel core to rust. King Cobra SS Nails are 100% stainless steel throughout, with no coating to wear away. For any outdoor, coastal, marine, or treated-timber application where the fasteners will be difficult or costly to replace, stainless steel is the correct and longer-lasting choice.
2) Which size should I choose — 1.5" or 2"?
Use the 1.5" (38mm × 3.6mm) nails for thinner timber, cladding, trim work, light fencing panels, and hardware fixing where deep penetration is not required. Use the 2" (50mm × 4.0mm) nails for decking boards, heavier structural timber, roofing sheets, and load-bearing connections where greater holding strength and deeper bite into the substrate are needed. When fastening into hardwood, pre-drill pilot holes with both sizes to avoid splitting.
3) Are these nails suitable for pressure-treated (ACQ or CCA) timber?
Yes — stainless steel is specifically recommended for use with ACQ, CCA, and other copper-based pressure-treated timbers. These treatments are highly corrosive to both plain steel and galvanised nails, degrading the zinc coating rapidly and causing premature fastener failure. Stainless steel is chemically inert to these treatments and is the only fastener type that delivers long-term structural reliability in treated timber applications.
4) How many nails are in a 1 Kg pack — will it be enough for my project?
The number of nails per kilogram varies by size: the 1.5" (38mm) nails are lighter and will yield more pieces per kg than the 2" (50mm) nails. As an approximate guide, a 1 Kg pack of 38mm stainless nails typically contains 300–400 nails, while 50mm nails yield around 200–300 per kg depending on exact diameter and head size. For large decking or fencing projects, order multiple packs to avoid mid-project shortfalls — HomeRun's 60-minute delivery means top-ups are quick if needed.
5) How do King Cobra SS Nails compare to regular stainless steel nails available at a hardware store?
King Cobra is a dedicated fastener brand with consistent manufacturing standards — uniform dimensions, controlled alloy composition, and polished finish quality that generic or unbranded stainless nails often lack. Inconsistent diameter or hardness in low-grade stainless nails can cause bending during driving or reduced holding strength. For professional or structural applications where fastener failure is costly, a branded product like King Cobra SS Nails offers more reliable and predictable performance than unbranded alternatives.
