Metal Roofs and Flashings (with washers)
When you use a fastener to hold metal panels together, it needs to do two things: hold and seal. Cap ring shank nails, also known as spring head nails, have a ring shank and a neoprene washer. The washer pushes down to seal the hole you just made in the metal. The ring shank keeps the nail from coming out as the metal gets hot and cold in the sun. This is a very critical application where using the wrong fastener can cause leaks and callbacks.
Put on roofing sheathing and OSB
You need to secure the deck before laying the underlayment. Ring shank nails for roof sheathing are a popular choice for framing crews who want their work doesn't squeak or pop. A ring shank is better than a smooth shank at attaching 7/16" or 1/2" OSB to trusses. As a standard practice, many contractors in areas with earthquakes or strong winds use ring shanks for sheathing.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing (for areas with high winds)
1-3/4 ring shank roofing nails should be your go-to choice if you live in an area that gets hurricanes or even just strong seasonal winds. The rings hold the wood decking in place with a grip that smooth nails can't break. Inspectors look for ring shanks on job sites because they know the difference. Use 2 inch ring shank nails for architectural shingles to ensure they go through thicker materials. It's a small extra cost for peace of mind.
Installing Cedar Shake and Shingle
Cedar can be difficult to work with. It gets smaller and smaller, and it reacts with some metals chemically. You need stainless steel ring shank roofing nails or hot-dipped galvanised nails with a thick zinc coating for cedar applications. The ring shank can't be changed here because cedar moves naturally and slowly pulls out a smooth nail over time. A ring shank stays tight all year long, and the stainless steel option ensures no black streaks ruin the look of that beautiful cedar roof.
How to Install Ring Shank Roofing Nails
Even contractors who aren't very experienced can easily put on Sinsun ring shank roofing nails.
First, make sure your roofing material (shingle, felt, or sheathing) is lined up perfectly on the deck.
When using standard nails, keep the nail straight and drive it in until the head is level with the material. Don't drive it too far, as this could damage shingles or felt.
To apply coil nails, put the coil into your pneumatic nailer and set the depth so that the finish is even.
For shingles, the nails should be 10 to 15 cm apart, and for sheathing, they should be 15 to 20 cm apart.
Use the right length of nail every time. It should be long enough to go through the deck by at least 15mm to hold it securely.
sinsun
The type of ring-shank roofing nail you need depends on your project and the weather. When putting asphalt shingles on a house, the most suitable nails to use are 1 1/4-inch or 1 3/4 inch galvanised ring shank nails. Choose ring-shank coil nails for commercial projects to speed up installation. If you live near the coast or in a harsh area, you need stainless steel nails to keep them from rusting. Use long nails (1 3/4 inch to 3 inch) for roof sheathing to hold better. Our team can help you choose the right nail if you're not sure. This will keep your roof safe for years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between roofing nails with a ring shank and those with a smooth shank?
Ring shank nails have concentric ridges that hold onto wood fibres and don't come out easily. The only thing that smooth shank nails depend on is friction. Ring shanks hold 3–4 times as much in high winds or with materials that expand and contract. That's why people in the business often call them ring roofing nails.
How long does it usually take to get a bulk order of 1-3/4 ring shank coil nails?
We keep stock of standard sizes like 1-3/4 ring shank coil nails in hot dipped galvanised so that they can be shipped right away. For custom lengths, stainless steel, or special coatings, the time it takes to get your order is usually 15 to 30 days, depending on how many you order.
Do all roofing projects need ring shank nails?
Not always, but they are highly recommended for high-wind areas, cedar shakes, metal roofing, or any project where it would be expensive to fix a nail pop. If you live in a place with mild weather and are using standard shingles, smooth shanks may be enough. But coil ring shank roofing nails are a good upgrade if you want to feel safe.
What are "cap ring shank nails" for?
Cap ring shank nails have a neoprene washer that goes under the head. They're used to hold down metal roofs, house wrap, synthetic underlayment, and anything else that needs to be sealed against water. The washer seals the hole, and the ring shank holds it in place.
How long should the ring shank nail be for asphalt shingles?
1-1/4 ring shank roofing nails are common for standard 3-tab shingles on 1/2" sheathing. 1-3/4 ring shank coil nails are the right size for architectural shingles or thicker decks. As a rule, the nail should go through the deck by at least 3/4 of an inch.
Can I use ring shank coil nails with my current pneumatic nailer?
Yes, if your nailer is a 15-degree wire-weld coil nailer. You can use our coil ring shank roofing nails with standard coil nailers from Max, Bostitch, Hitachi (Metabo HPT), Paslode, and Senco. Before you order, make sure you know what your gun can do.
What is the difference between stainless steel and hot dipped galvanised?
Hot dipped galvanised nails have a thick layer of zinc on them that protects them from rusting in most situations. Stainless steel is better at resisting rust, especially in saltwater, and it won't stain cedar. Stainless is also often needed for some architectural plans.
Do you have roofing nails with 3-inch ring shanks for thicker jobs?
Yes. You can get our 3-inch ring shank roofing nails in either hot-dipped galvanised or stainless steel, and they usually come in strips or bulk. They are great for attaching to thicker wood, furring strips, or for holding multiple layers of material together.
Can your ring shank nails be used with both coil and strip nailers?
Our coil ring shank roofing nails are made to work with coil nailers. We also sell ring shank strip nails that are made for strip nailers. Tell us what kind of gun you have, and we'll tell you what kind of collation will work best with it.
Can I get a sample before I place a big order?
Yes, of course. We have sample packs of our ring shank roofing nails that you can use to test how well they hold and how well they stick together before you buy a whole container. Just ask us for samples, and we'll send them to you.
