The 16-gauge finish nails are not going to hold down the deck. They are designed to hold trim. Typical finish nails are not good in weather exposure either because they are not galvanized, but your stainless nails certainly will not rust. Screws are the best attachment in a deck, and hot dip galvenized or spiral shank nails are the normal nailing selection, and even those will back out sometimes.
I don't see what harm there is in nailing with your finish nailer, but you should expect to be back with a screw gun soon as the boards will lift. |
