Hillman Fasteners 461338 Galvanized Pole Barn Nail 4in 20D 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461338 is a galvanized pole barn nail designed for heavy-duty structural fastening in post-frame and agricultural construction. At 4 inches in length and rated 20D (pennyweight), this nail is built to drive through dimensional lumber used in pole barn framing, skirt boards, and girt attachment. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating resists corrosion in outdoor and high-moisture environments common to farm and utility structures. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, giving contractors and builders a ready-to-use working supply on the job site.

This nail is a staple fastener for pole barn and post-frame construction on residential and agricultural properties. Framers, general contractors, and agricultural builders use 20D pole barn nails when attaching wall girts, roof purlins, and structural sheathing to posts. The 4-inch shank length provides adequate penetration into treated or green lumber, which is standard in post-frame applications. The galvanized finish makes these nails appropriate for pressure-treated lumber contact where plain steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 4-inch length, 20D pennyweight rating for structural pole barn framing
• Galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in outdoor and agricultural environments
• Suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber
• 5-pound box quantity supports sustained job site use
• Full round head design for solid bearing surface against framing lumber

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 20D pole barn nail for use in post-frame agricultural buildings, utility structures, and residential pole barn construction where a 4-inch galvanized fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by framers or general contractors using a framing hammer or pneumatic framing nailer rated for 20D ring-shank or smooth-shank nails. Always verify that the nail gun or hand-nailing method meets the fastener schedule specified in the building plans or local building code. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, confirm that the galvanized coating meets the corrosion-resistance requirements specified by the lumber treatment rating and applicable building codes. Keep fasteners dry during storage to maintain coating integrity prior to installation.
