Taylor Made Stainless Dock Nail 1-1/4" #12 | 95999
Taylor Made Stainless Dock Nail 1-1/4" #12 | 95999 — Product description
If your dock edging keeps working loose, the fastener's the problem, not the edging. Taylor Made's 1-1/4-inch #12 stainless ring shank nail bites into the wood and holds through every wet-dry cycle. No rust streaks, no backing out. A half-pound box does most residential docks.
If you've ever watched dock edging peel back a season after you nailed it down, you already know why the fastener matters. Taylor Made's #12 ring shank dock nail is built for exactly this job. It holds vinyl or rubber dock edging tight to a wood dock frame, year after year, through every wet-dry cycle the water throws at it.
The ring shank is the whole trick. Instead of a smooth nail that works its way loose as the wood swells and shrinks, the rings bite into the wood fibers and lock in place. Once it's set, it stays set. That's what you want on a dock, where everything flexes underfoot and nothing ever fully dries out.
And because it's solid stainless steel, corrosion isn't in the picture. Freshwater lake, brackish river, salt bay, it doesn't matter. A cheaper nail will bleed rust streaks down your dock edging inside a couple of seasons. Stainless just keeps holding. That's the difference between a dock that looks sharp and one that looks tired.
At 1-1/4 inches, this length is sized right for fastening edging profiles and trim to standard dock lumber without punching through to the other side. The #12 gauge gives you a solid shank that won't bend over when you drive it into pressure-treated framing. You get a 1/2 pound box, which is enough to run a good stretch of edging on most residential docks.
Install is straightforward. Pre-drill if you're working near the end of a board so you don't split it, otherwise just set the edging where you want it and drive the nails through the mounting flange every few inches. A quick job that pays off for years.
If you're re-edging a dock or building one out, buy a little more than you think you need. Running short halfway down a dock finger is nobody's idea of a good afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
What are these nails used for?
They're made for fastening vinyl or rubber dock edging and trim to a wood dock frame. That's the job they're sized and shaped for.
Why a ring shank instead of a smooth nail?
The rings on the shank bite into the wood fibers and hold, so the nail doesn't work its way loose as the dock lumber swells and shrinks with the weather. On a dock that flexes and stays damp, that holding power is exactly what you want.
Will these rust?
No. They're solid stainless steel, so they hold up in fresh, brackish, and salt water without bleeding rust streaks down your edging.
What length and gauge are they?
1-1/4 inches long in a #12 gauge. Long enough to grab standard dock lumber, stout enough not to bend when you drive it.
How many nails come in the box?
They're sold by weight in a 1/2 pound box rather than a fixed count. That's enough to run a good stretch of edging on most residential docks.
Do I need to pre-drill?
Only near the ends of a board, where the wood can split. Along the run you can drive them straight through the edging's mounting flange.
