Description
The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461337 is a 5-pound box of galvanized pole barn nails sized at 3.5 inches (16D). These ring-shank or smooth-shank fasteners are purpose-built for post-frame and pole barn construction, where holding strength and weather resistance are critical. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating resists corrosion in exposed and semi-exposed structural applications. Carpenters, agricultural builders, and general contractors reach for this nail when framing pole buildings, attaching sheathing, or securing dimensional lumber in high-moisture environments.
These nails are suited for residential and commercial post-frame construction, including agricultural outbuildings, equipment storage facilities, and garages. The 16D designation and 3.5-inch length make them appropriate for face-nailing double top plates, attaching girts to posts, and general framing tasks where code-compliant fastener schedules call for a 16-penny common or sinker nail. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, and the package ships in a case quantity of 4 boxes.
Key Features
- 3.5-inch length, 16D designation for heavy framing and structural connections
- Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and agricultural environments
- 5-pound box quantity suits job-site use and bulk task completion

Compatibility
Designed as a standard 16D framing nail for use in post-frame and pole barn construction wherever a 3.5-inch galvanized common nail is specified.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by carpenters and general contractors following applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC fastener schedule requirements for framing connections. Always verify the required nail schedule on project drawings before installation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, when hand-nailing or operating a pneumatic framing nailer. Confirm nail gun compatibility with 16D sinker or common nail specifications before use with pneumatic tools.
