    Hi to All,

    This is for a shed project, will be using 3X2" timber. So far the ones i have short listed are the Goldscrew Plus or Forgefast Multi Purpose Woodscrews.

    Have also looked at the Reisser Cutters and the Screw-tite 2's. Any feedback or recommendations will be much appreciated.

    Ta.

  3. 4" galvanised wire nails, no need for screws.

    Are you using the regular ones or the elite?

    You're right to be using screws - I would go for the cheapest with a good pozi bit. Reisser screws are an absolute joy, but you're going to need quite a few and are an unnecessary expense for a shed - even a beautiful one!

    It's a shed mate, as Deleted member 11267 has stated, use 4" galvanised wire nails to build the framework and roof, and use 2- 2 1/2" galvanised wire nails for any sheathing material. Save your money on screws and build up your dexterity using a hammer.

    I think just the regular?

    I honestly wouldn't over think it , as many have said you could get away with using nails , and in many ways nails may be better.

    Went with the regular ones in the end. Correct! "Don't over think it".
