Why does my package of Porter-Cable galvanized finishing nails say not to use them outside? - galvanized nails
Porter-Cable I bought galvanized 15 ga. Finishing nails for use in the creation of boards (5 / 4 "cedar). When I started, I realized that the package does not mean" for use outdoors - indoors only. "What's up with that? Thought galvanized nails were exactly what I wanted to work outdoors.
All the ideas, why not for outdoor use and above all, do you think would be good to use for this purpose despite what the package says?
Thank you!

First, they are not fire-galvanized are electrolytic. Therefore, they are not intended for use outdoors. Second, screws or galvanized nails acids react with cedar or redwood, and black. This results in a flash. The best way to back up your plate cover screws are stainless steel. For 5 / 4 "disks, you need to 2-1/2" screws. They are expensive, but worth it.
Boards will never finish nails below. Once the sun hits them, they will withdraw. I call down the screws.
First, all nails and with due respect to NEVER use on decks, but can not respond directly to your question: Have you ever wondered Porter?
In a sense, I believe that the process of nailing the power to some disruption of galvanized coating anything, because she was in galvanized carriage bolts used to secure the frame positions to be interrupted, but only the wireless segment. Something that no one galvanizing, you see that oxidizes over time, the zones are.

Just my two "sense"
It ACQ approved. To rust under humid conditions, causes the metal in the green of the nail. Galvanized means the nail is wet only once. You need to cross several times to meet the standards of the CQI to be. Otherwise, the nail rust and break easily. Especially in the way they are thin.
In any case, nails must be used for this application. You need to work within a very short and probably replace some wood and twisted to do. Go screw, you'll get results more sustainable.
I think he will say, "gold" versus "galvanized"
Just a thought - (nice posts in your package of issues, Don! =)
