Surplus Nails & Construction Fasteners, in Bulk

Construction fasteners — buyer guide

About Construction Fasteners

Construction fasteners — nails and screws for framing, decking, drywall, and general construction — are used in high volume across residential and commercial building projects. Because they're typically ordered by the pallet or truckload, surplus, overstock, and special-opportunity lots can offer meaningful savings for contractors, distributors, and builders buying at volume.

PCNA's Construction Fasteners inventory includes products such as vinyl-coated sinker nails, bright duplex nails, black-phosphate-coated drywall screws, bright ring-shank drywall nails, galvanized ring-shank and spiral-thread pallet/deck nails, galvanized box nails, galvanized casing nails, galvanized common nails, and galvanized plastic-strip framing nails — all manufactured to meet ASTM F1667-17, the industry standard specification for driven fasteners. Available products and quantities change as new inventory becomes available rather than sitting in a fixed catalog.

Common Equipment and Applications

• Common nails for heavy-duty general construction and framing
• Box nails for light-duty construction, carpentry, and box making
• Casing nails for trim, window, and door casing
• Deck nails for outdoor decking, patio, and fence construction
• Drywall screws and drywall nails for attaching drywall to studs
• Framing nails for structural and framing applications

What to Consider When Buying Construction Fasteners

Before ordering a bulk lot of fasteners, buyers typically confirm shank diameter, head diameter, shank type (smooth, ring, or spiral), length and gauge, coating or finish (galvanized, vinyl-coated, phosphate-coated), and quantity — usually measured in pallets or pieces per carton. Shank type matters in particular: ring-shank fasteners are typically used in softer woods and where vibration resistance matters, while spiral-shank fasteners are suited to harder woods and locations near board ends where splitting is a concern.

Selling Surplus Fasteners

If your business has surplus, excess, or overstock construction fasteners to move — a single pallet or a full truckload — you can submit it directly to our team for review. We evaluate each submission based on product type, quantity, condition, and location.

Equipment Transportation & Logistics

Fastener lots are typically palletized and shipped by the truckload. PCNA coordinates ocean, rail, and inland logistics in-house through our Ocean & Inland Marine Cargo Services team, including planning, documentation, risk assessments, and insurance claims support where applicable.
