65mm x 2.65 Galvanised Roundhead Batten Nail – 25kg Box
£49.90£59.88 EX VATINC VAT
Galvanised roundhead batten nails in 65mm x 2.65mm, supplied in a 25kg box. Suitable for fixing timber battens to both softwood and hardwood. A practical bulk buy for roofers, groundworkers, and general timber work.
These 65mm x 2.65mm galvanised roundhead batten nails are a standard choice for fixing roof battens and general timber work on site. The hot-dip galvanised finish gives the nail a protective coating that holds up in exposed conditions, making batten nails 65mm a reliable option wherever moisture and weather are a concern. Supplied in a 25kg box, this is a sensible bulk buy for any roofing or timber contractor who goes through volume.
The roundhead profile gives solid bearing against the batten face, reducing the chance of pull-through under load. At 2.65mm shank diameter, these nails drive cleanly through standard softwood roof battens without splitting, even close to the ends. They also perform well in hardwood where the galvanised coating helps resist the tannins and acids in denser timbers that can cause plain steel nails to corrode and stain the wood surface.
Where Galvanised Batten Nails 65mm Get Used
On a typical pitched roof, these nails are used to fix 25mm x 38mm or 25mm x 50mm tiling battens to the rafters through the roofing felt. The 65mm length gives adequate penetration into the rafter below without over-driving, which keeps the fixing secure over the long term. Roofers fitting slates, plain tiles, or concrete interlocking tiles will all recognise this size as a site standard.
Beyond roofing, these galvanised batten nails are regularly used in timber frame construction, external cladding, treated timber work, and any external joinery application where a plain bright nail would rust out within a season. The 25kg box format means fewer trips to the merchant and more time on the tools, which is about as good a trade benefit as you can ask for from a nail.
A Note on Nail Gun Compatibility
These are hand-nailing batten nails, not strip nails or coil nails for a nail gun. They are designed to be driven with a hammer. If you are running a pneumatic first-fix nailer, these will not feed through the magazine, so check your tool before ordering. For hand nailing, though, the 65mm length is well suited to a standard roofing hammer.
At 25kg per box, you are looking at several thousand nails depending on exact count, which makes batten nails 65mm in this format a cost-effective option compared to buying in smaller quantities from a local merchant.
Pro Tip: When nailing battens close to rafter ends, skew the nail slightly toward the centre of the rafter rather than driving it perfectly vertical, as this reduces the risk of splitting the timber and gives a stronger mechanical grip.
