Customer Reviews
"Used these on a full copper flashing re-roof job. Ring shank design held perfectly through our Oregon winter. No backing out, no corrosion after two seasons."
"Ordered the 2-inch for valley and step flashing on a tile roof. Easy penetration, flush head every time, and the copper finish looks professional. Will buy again."
"Arrived in two days. Consistent quality — uniform shank rings and sharp points. Pre-drilled for the 1-1/4 inch near edges, drove perfectly with no splitting."

Professional Copper Ring Shank Nails for Roofing & Flashing
GutterAll copper ring shank nails combine the natural durability of copper with a ring shank profile that grips material fibers on installation. The ring design resists withdrawal through thermal expansion cycles, wind load events, and wet-dry weather cycles — providing measurably stronger fastening than smooth shank nails in every critical roofing and flashing application.
Available in five sizes from 1‑1/4″ to 3″, these nails cover standard step and counter flashing all the way through heavy-duty commercial valley installations. Copper construction eliminates galvanic corrosion when paired with copper flashing systems and develops a natural protective patina over time.
Why Copper Ring Shank
Ring threads grip material fibers on the way in, resisting withdrawal by 40% compared to smooth shank nails under identical loads.
Natural corrosion resistance in all climates, zero galvanic reaction with copper flashing, and a self-developing protective patina.
1‑1/4″ through 3″ covers every application from thin step flashing to maximum-penetration structural fastening.
Sharp diamond point for clean penetration with minimal effort; large flat head seats flush without countersinking.

Installation Guide
Follow these steps for optimal holding power and longevity.
- Select the correct nail size based on material thickness and required penetration depth.
- Pre-drill pilot holes near edges, in hard materials, or in brittle substrates to prevent splitting.
- Drive nails straight and perpendicular to the surface for maximum ring engagement.
- Ensure minimum 3/4″ penetration into the substrate material.
- Maintain minimum edge distance per local building code requirements.
- Drive nail head flush with the surface — do not countersink or overdrive.
- Space nails per manufacturer specifications and local code for your application.
- Inspect the completed installation for proper fastening and material integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose copper ring shank nails over standard smooth shank nails?
Copper ring shank nails provide 40% greater holding power than smooth shank nails because the ring threads grip material fibers on the way in and resist withdrawal under thermal expansion, wind loads, and weather cycling. Copper construction adds superior corrosion resistance, making them the preferred choice for critical roofing and flashing applications.
What size nail should I choose for my application?
Choose 1‑1/4″ or 1‑1/2″ at $9.99 for standard flashing work. Select the 2″ at $19.99 for heavy-duty applications. Use 2‑1/2″ at $19.99 or 3″ at $29.99 for maximum penetration through thick materials. The nail should penetrate at least 3/4″ into the substrate.
Do I need to pre-drill holes for copper ring shank nails?
Pre-drilling is recommended when working near edges, with hard materials, or in brittle substrates to prevent splitting. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the nail shank diameter. For softer materials like wood sheathing, direct driving is usually acceptable.
Can I use copper nails with other metal flashing materials?
Copper nails are ideal with copper flashing to prevent galvanic corrosion. They can be used with aluminum flashing but may cause minor galvanic reaction over time. Avoid using copper nails with galvanized steel flashing as this creates significant galvanic corrosion. Consult a roofing professional for mixed-metal applications.
How many nails do I need for my roofing project?
Typical flashing installations require nails every 6–12 inches along edges. A standard residential roof may need 200–500 nails depending on complexity. Calculate based on linear feet of flashing, required spacing, and add 15–20% for waste. Call us at (503) 496-7017 for project-specific calculations.
