I have a fairly large wood deck at the back of my +20 year old home.. I eventually plan to replace it with stone.. Presently it needs some repairs, upgrade and maintenance. The objective is to make it presentable for a few years until I do the stone upgrade .The deck is faced with pressure treated 5/4" 1x6 stock. I want to replace some of the deck boards prior to staining as well as in some cases reverse the boards to the better side..I plan of course, to use galvanized nails..My specific question is: Can I use 1 of my nailers and use galvanized nails in them? I have 2 Porter Cable nailers: finishing and brad and I was given several years ago, a Harbor Freight (!) 6 in 1 framing nailer 93910 .. That is an older unit. I'm not sure what nails can be handled in that nailer, let alone galvanized...what do you guys recommend? I do want to use galvanized nails but am not sure of my options. (I prefer not to use screws in this temporary upgrade)..as you can tell ,I do not use my nail guns often...Let me know your thoughts for this temporary maintenance.That will be very helpful..Thanks much in advance.,
