This Building Technology File (BTF) deals with timber fasteners, which are made in a wide variety of types. In addition to nails, screws and bolts – the traditional metal devices for jointing timber – there are a number of different types of fasteners for joints of high strength and stiffness. Even the common nail, as a result of research and development, is now made in many varieties to satisfy special requirements.
